Ashley Lyn Olson, founder of the blog Wheelchairtraveling.com, was paralyzed at the age of 14 in the same accident that killed her father, who worked as a park ranger. Since 2009, she’s been blogging her travel experiences throughout the United States and beyond on her blog – WheelchairTraveling.com – which is both a website, travel company, blog, social network and resource for disabled people.
Recently she completed a seminal report offering, in painstaking detail, accessibility and tips for 22 of America’s most treasured national parks. Her father would have been proud.
