"Accessible doesn't always mean ADA compliant"

A Wheelchair Accessibility Guide to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park



Three years ago, Kellisa and I had a week open for adventure. We decided to spend our time down in the Palm Springs area to explore some new areas while making a return visit to Joshua Tree National Park. Thanks to COVID, this would be Kellisa's first flight in 50 months, by far the longest she ever went without being on an airplane. 

We had such a great time, we thought we would share our guide to the Palm Springs region again for our readers.

Thanksgiving 2025 on the Bay

For the second year in a row, we made the drive to Pier 3 in San Francisco to board a boat for a buffet style Thanksgiving feast while cruising around the bay. The highlights included sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge and a close pass of Alcatraz Island. The food was outstanding and we enjoyed some after dinner music and dancing. We also took advantage of the surroundings for several “photo shoots.” I think a tradition has taken root.
