I used to think that ATV's were a menace to the wilderness before my neck injury eliminated my ability to mountain bike.

An interesting point. Is there a obligation to provide motorized access to disabled folks in National Parks in snow bound areas? Motorized is the operative word. Or by a more traditional criteria, is there an obligation to provide access for disabled folks in National Parks? Everyone knows that there is an obligation to provide disabled access to degrees, but as far as I’ve seen it, being disabled gets you front row parking, and sometimes specialized parking, and also gets you some ramps and wider toilet stalls, but that’s the extent. And even if it were a mandate, do you think Yellowstone would see 900 to 1,800 disabled folks a
day?
The second point is to what extent convenience is permitted at the destruction of a designated wilderness area. Obviously, everywhere outside of wildeness areas convenience rules....
