In this episode, Ben and Simone discuss the issue of disability access in outdoor recreation on public lands. They highlight the importance of motorized recreation for individuals with physical disabilities and the therapeutic benefits it provides. They mention that they consistently bring up disability access in their comments and lawsuits, but the agencies often ignore these concerns. They also discuss specific cases, such as the proposed closure of Arch Canyon in Bears Ears National Monument, where disability access is at risk. Ben and Simone encourage individuals with disabilities to share their stories and advocate for their rights to access public lands.Share Your Stories: https://www.sharetrails.org/current-issues/operation-accessible-2/
