Fay-Luther Trail system. “The interpretive trail on Fay-Luther Trail System [BLM description] is the most accessible trail on that system. It is an interpretive loop, definitely not wheelchair accessible because of sandy soils, but easily doable for children and elderly.”
“Clear Creek Trail is a gentle grade…,not wheelchair accessible though.”
“Bently-Kirman Tract Trail is flat, but a natural trail with cattle present, so not wheelchair friendly but very easy to do by most anyone else.”
