What people say
Nelson Holland
"👨‍🦽This is a fully ADA accessible and easy hike. You can get out and walk around the lake. It's definitely ADA accessible most of the year too, except for when there's a lot of snow.
There are other paved trails in the area that are definitely ADA accessible year-round.
Lake Ladora is one of my favorite hikes here.
Rattlesnake Hill is also an awesome little mountain peak.
I see a lot of bison here, so you can do this as a wildlife drive which is super accessible because you can enjoy nature from your car. You can especially look for wildlife if you do it during sunrise or sunset.
This area qualifies as being a place for beginner hikes because there are so many trails, and you can choose which ones you want to do based on how many miles you feel comfortable doing. Some of the lake trails are 2 miles, but you don't have to go all the way around, you could just walk a bit to see it. There's also very little elevation gain on most of these trails.
If you're not able to find parking at the particular trail you want while visiting, you'll be able to find parking at a different trail."
