Part narrative, part guidebook, this book follows the author and
his wheelchair-bound daughter as they complete a range of hikes in
all 50 states, validating that anyone can experience the natural
landscapes the United States has to offer, even if pushing a
mobility chair or stroller. When Kellisa Kain was born premature
with significant developmental and physical disabilities, she
wasn't expected to survive her first 24 hours. She defied the odds,
and 20 years later she and her father, Christopher Kain, have
pushiked using a specialized mobility chair in all 50 states. Now
Chris wants to inspire other families, whether with children in
strollers or in mobility chairs, to get outside and experience the
country's natural landscapes. Rugged Access for All: A Guide for
Pushiking America's Diverse Trails with Mobility Chairs and
Strollers showcases some of the greatest trails across the US that
can be completed while pushiking-hiking with someone in a
wheelchair, mobility chair, or stroller. Part narrative, part
guide, this book chronicles their hikes in all 50 states. It
includes detailed trail descriptions, full-color trail maps, and
vibrant stories from Chris and Kellisa's own experiences. Trails
vary in difficulty, from deserts to mountains and everything in
between. Sometimes even a stroll around the block can have
frustrating barriers to those with wheels, and this can lead to
families staying inside too often. Rugged Access for All gives
families the knowledge, confidence, and direction to travel and
experience the wonders of nature, no matter what mobility
challenges they may face.
