犹他州五座国家公园推出全地形轮椅免费借用，Arches 等公园步道可达性提升
国家公园管理局（NPS）10月8日宣布，犹他州五座国家公园推出全地形轮椅借用服务，让行动不便的访客也能走完部分沙地与岩石步道。该轮椅为非机动式，有三个大而柔软的轮子，可应对沙地、岩石与台阶，整车重50磅，每座公园至少配备一台，免费、先到先得。
在 Arches National Park，轮椅在访客中心领取，使用者需有一名陪同者推行，双方须签署免责文件，其中一方出示身份证件与保险证明，护林员会做简短培训。NPS 建议访客事先联系各公园确认可用情况与适用步道。
Five Utah National Parks Offer Free All-Terrain Wheelchairs for Selected Trails
The National Park Service announced on Oct. 8 a new all-terrain wheelchair program at five Utah national parks, giving visitors with limited mobility a way to explore selected trails. The non-motorized chairs have three large, soft wheels for uneven ground including sand, rocks and steps, weigh 50 pounds, and each park has at least one, provided free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis.
At Arches National Park, the chair is available from the visitor center. It requires an assistant to push it; the user and assistant must complete a waiver, one of them must show identification and proof of insurance, and a ranger provides a short training session. Visitors are advised to contact each park about availability and eligible trails.
