Great news! Will anyone be heading to the Great Smoky Mountains to check out these programs soon?

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in partnership with Knox County, Catalyst Sports, and Friends of the Smokies, will make public lands more accessible for visitors of all abilities by offering three adaptive programs this summer. Rangers and volunteers will lead one biking and two hiking programs using off-road wheelchairs and adaptive mountain bikes on three trails evaluated for adaptive equipment.

The following programs are designed for visitors of all abilities and their families to learn about the natural and cultural history of Great Smoky Mountains National Park:

• Saturday, July 22, 2023 (HIKE)—Deep Creek Trail
• Sunday, August 27, 2023 (BIKE)—Forge Creek Rd-Cades Cove
• Saturday, September 9, 2023 (HIKE)—Little River Trail

Register and find more information at Catalyst Sports, a non-profit organization that provides outdoor adventures for people with physical disabilities (https://ow.ly/jLYt50P6X3G).

Registration is required to ensure adequate equipment and volunteers are available for the programs. Participants are welcome to bring their own adaptive equipment.

Would you like to volunteer to help with the adaptive programs?

Join park staff for Accessibility and Adaptive Equipment Training on Saturday, July 15, from 10 a.m.- 12 p.m. at Oconaluftee Visitor Center Training Room, near the Cherokee entrance to the park.

Each piece of adaptive equipment requires assistance from two volunteers. The National Park Service will rely on volunteers for the events and will offer disability etiquette and equipment training with Knox County and Catalyst Sports for those individuals who help with the programs.

To register to volunteer, contact Katherine Corrigan at [email protected]. Volunteer training is needed before helping with programs in the park. This volunteer position requires moderate to high fitness levels.

The adaptive programs are made possible through a National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) grant and major funding support from Toyota Motor North America.

Great job JetBlue! Let's keep spreading awareness and the seriousness of airtravel and food allergy safety.

We live 25 min from Newark NJ airport but chose to drive to LaGuardia in NY to fly to Florida for summer clay nationals. When we can we choose airlines that respect Josh's . Flight crew could not be kinder re buffer zone around him. Worth the drive!!!

The world needs need more people like this❤️

These 2 incredible employees in the bright green shirts at Busch Gardens❤️ sat on either side of my brother, who has Down’s syndrome. He really wanted to go on this ride and we were worried he would freak out once at the top. These 2 amazing gentlemen who worked at this ride volunteered to sit beside him in case he did, they were equipped to abort the ride at any time.

My brother did have his eyes closed the entire time but absolutely loved it. Everyone cheered and clapped for him when he got off the ride. It was an awesome moment for everyone, only made possible by the 2 employees who volunteered to get on with him😊 thank you again.

We got a little sneak peek of Epcot testing new fireworks tonight from our balcony at Yacht Club around 11:30pm. Hotel guests were notifed today that testing would take place between 11p-1am.

From our limited view, it looked like there were more laser lights and projections than usual as well as new music (which included some Disney classics from what we could hear). Excited to see what's in store...perhaps testing for the 4th of July?

We tried the adaptive swimwear by shopDisney today and it was a game changer. It features velcro in the back and made it easy to go from the pool, to hooking up g-tube and changing. Perfect for a day at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort!
