I've nothing to add to the topic but I want to commiserate. I'm sad because we would have used this a few years ago, but my son is just deteriorating and I doubt we'll be visiting National Parks with him again.

Yosemite has great disabled access FWIW. With a handicap placard we could drive on roads otherwise reserved for buses or rangers and get close to some of the best sights.

I am really so sorry to hear about your son. I'm new to this whole thing having found out only 4 months ago and have to force myself to do these things and make the best of it.

Yosemite is where we went last week. I was glad the government shutdown didn't happen. And yea, we were able to use their paved trails to push her around in a stroller because it would have been otherwise quite nearly impossible to go anywhere. She's getting a little heavy to hold for extended periods of time. But it made her absurdly happy, so it was worth it.
