Our Mission: Equal Access to Nature.
Wilderness On Wheels is a small 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a huge footprint. Our accessible mountain facility has been welcoming thousands of guests each year since 1986. We have accessible hiking on our boardwalks, adaptive fishing at our wheelchair accessible fishing pond, and overnight stays (accessible cabins, huts, and tent sites). Every year, Wilderness On Wheels serves the community and provides nature access to people with disabilities, veterans, people experiencing chronic health issues, and more.
At Wilderness On Wheels, we are breaking down barriers and creating inclusion in the outdoor space. Support our mission by visiting, volunteering, and donating. Read our testimonials to better understand the impact and importance of equal access to nature.

Wilderness On Wheels was built to be inclusive and accessible. Our facility is wheelchair accessible and we encourage everyone to come out and visit (whether you use a mobility device or not). Wilderness On Wheels partners with local organizations that support individuals with disabilities, as well as senior citizens. Groups of people (children and adults) with disabilities, and senior groups, will come to Wilderness On Wheels for day trips and to enjoy exploring nature in a place that is accessible and welcoming.

Our organization has been operating for 40 years and we remain committed to expanding opportunities for individuals and families of all abilities to experience the healing and restorative power of nature, together. Each season, Wilderness On Wheels welcomes individuals with a wide range of mobility challenges, disabilities, veterans, and those with health conditions. They are able to enjoy wheelchair accessible hiking, fishing, cabin stays, wildlife viewing, and quality time with loved ones in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Feedback from guests consistently highlights the importance of our accessible boardwalk, cabins, campsites, and inclusive environment in reducing isolation and increasing quality of life.
