<\/a>?? “<\/strong>The Red Trail is suitable for wheelchair access, if the wheelchair has oversized tires designed for a gravel surface.”\u00a0 I put the question marks in because another place in the website describes the Red Trail as steep and rocky with stone steps.\u00a0 Call the park to see if there really is a trail suitable for wheelchairs.<\/p>\n
