Salt Lake City, UT, August 20, 2026 —
Zion National Park has become the first national park in the United States to provide an all-terrain wheelchair for public use. This initiative aims to significantly improve trail accessibility for visitors with disabilities.
The park acquired an Extreme Motus all-terrain wheelchair, which was made possible through a donation from a nonprofit organization. The specifics of the nonprofit organization were not provided.
The wheelchair will be available for use free of charge to park visitors. Access will operate on a first-come, first-serve basis and can be obtained at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center.
This new offering is expected to enhance the experience for individuals with mobility challenges, allowing them to explore more of the park’s natural beauty. The park has not specified a timeline for when the wheelchair will be available, only that it is now owned by the park for public use.
