You missed some additional features. The campgrounds have four raised tent platforms where you can set up a 12×12′ tent and slide from the seat of your wheelchair to inside your tent. Those sites also have electrical access that has pavers around for W/C access.
The ramadas have paved ramps and there is a nice path that connects the cabin area to the main campground area that is w/c friendly. There have been many Eagle Scout projects in the park that have helped with access. And, some camping sites have raised fire pits.
There is a boat ramp that has w/c access when the river is flooding. (I’ve used it several times with my kayak!)
OK, so I am a volunteer there and plant flowers and pull weeds. And I look for ways that access can be improved. It’s a piece a heaven that I can enjoy every day before I go into work. Birds are ever changing and the views are great. I actually think the views from the cabins is great. Lots of shade and quite.

Wow! I’ve always wanted to check out Dead Horse Ranch, but thought it might not be very accessible. Glad to hear that I was wrong. Will surely head up there in April, 2011 for the next Verde Valley Birding Festival, at Dead Horse Ranch. Stay tuned to http://www.birdingwithoutbarriers.org and http://www.birdyverde.org/ for details.

It’s not the easiest place to find. Its between Bell and Union Hills on the east side of Thompson Peak Parkway.

What are the exact directions? I am confused when you say “The trail is located at the Gateway Park, which is east of Thompson Park between Bell Road and Union Hills.” I looked up both of those parks in the yellow pages and had no luck finding an address.

Thank you
