Arizona Desert from the Highway

Notes
A fantastic place, what FLW lacked in implementation skills he more than made up for with creativity. The guide we had was excellent and this is one not to be missed, you do have to book in advance and allow plenty of time for the trip.

Accessibility

The building complex is generally single storey and the guided tour was straight forwards in a manual wheelchair. Some of the doors can be a little narrow (I estimate about 28 inches) and there a few steel short ramps.



Parking

Parking is on site and close to the site, get the map to find it though it can be a little intricate to get to the entrance

Toilets

There are accessible toilets on site but they are a little small to access for anything larger than a manual wheelchair or small electric one (tight turn in the gent’s).


Accommodation
We did not stay over.

 Other/General

There is NO CAFÉ at the site so get your caffeine fix in before you go and if it’s summer take plenty to drink.

My Overall Accessibility Rating

8 out of a possible 10
