Tips for Travelers with Special Needs

Tips for Travelers with Physical Disabilities--Information on facilities and services for those with disabilities is available at any of the visitor centers in the park, although most of the park's developed areas are fully accessible by wheelchair. The park's Accessibility in Glacier National Park publication describes current programs and services for visitors with disabilities.

For The Visually Impaired--Audio tapes, park brochure recordings, and tactile nature items are available at the Apgar, Logan Pass, and St. Mary Visitor Centers. All other park facilities--restrooms, restaurants, campgrounds, gift shops--are accessible with some assistance.

For The Mobility Impaired--The Trail of the Cedars, Oberlin Bend Trail, and Running Eagle Falls Nature Trail are wheelchair accessible. A bike path at Apgar also provides magnificent views of the park's scenery. Wheelchairs are available for loan at the Apgar, Logan Pass, and St. Mary Visitor Centers and almost all of the park's facilities are fully accessible.

For The Hearing Impaired--Interpreters provide written synopses of most slide and campfire programs. If you plan on hiking, note that five of the park's self-guided nature trails have printed brochures available at the trail head. General park information is available by TDD at tel. 406/888-7806. An interpreter may be available to sign at the Nature with a Naturalist programs. Call tel. 406/888-7939 a week in advance to make arrangements.
