Welcome

Welcome to the Accessible Roadtrip Blog. I will be posting information about how accessible places I have been are, including information on bathrooms, restaurants, and hotels.

Smith's ballpark Salt Lake City bees Salt Lake City Utah

June 19, 2014

We parked in the parking lot that is across the street up in the front were the handicap spots. So we just had to cross the street to get to the Stadium. We went in the gate on the third base side. There are steps just inside the gate to go up. But there is also a ramp immediately to the left after entering the gate which gets you up to the top. We used both a regular restroom which worked okay but not really all that great and a family accessible restroom which worked well. One of our seats down the first base side was a bit obstructed unless you are leaning forward but they exchanged the tickets to a couple sections over.

R&R barbecue Salt Lake City Utah

June 19, 2014

This place had good parking maybe not a huge lot though. We were also early so there were spots available. Inside is very easy to get around and our table worked great although it was the second one we tried as the first one was wobbly. The only real problem is the counter was really high where you order which made it a little difficult.

Red Butte Gardens Salt Lake City Utah


June 19, 2014

 
 
 
This garden is located at the University of Utah. The handicapped parking was all full when we got there so we parked out further and down to the lower part of the parking lot. So we had to walk a bit of a ways back to the building.  It was easy to get in the door. From here you had to go up an elevator and right near where you get out of the elevator is a very nice bathroom. Then to get to the garden you exit out one of the many doors. Most of the trails were accessible and there were quite a few places to sit and rest. There is a little trail that was very steep not too far from the main building.

Ruth's diner Salt Lake City Utah

June 19, 2014

Parking was not so great but at the time we were there it wasn't exactly full. So we parked where we had room. Then we walked up to the restaurant and since we have been here before we knew we couldn’t get in the front door, it goes up steps into the original diner car. So we went and in the side door by the patio where a waiter opened the door for us since we wanted to sit inside. They moved the chairs for our table for me to have room, but they moved them to the hall toward the bathroom. So they ended up in my way there. But once I made it to the bathroom I was very impressed with the bathroom, it was very accessible and much more than I thought it would be. Also our table worked very well for me.

Ogden Raptors Lindquist Field Ogden Utah


June 18, 2014

There was street parking which we used right by the ticket window. The lady at the ticket window said she wasn't sure how to do handicap tickets. Eventually she sold us one handicap seat and two seats in the row in front. This wasn't much of an issue because there weren’t a lot of people there anyways. The restroom was all right, the stall was okay. To get up to the handicap seats there was a small elevator that we had to use. Once we got up to the top there was quite a bit of space up there and even a concession stand. However there was no restroom up here.

Lucky slice pizza Ogden Utah


June 18, 2014

There was a nice parking lot just down the street where it was easy to get on the sidewalk. The sidewalk was easy enough to navigate back to the restaurant. Right at the door there was a fairly large bump. Inside the counter area was all right. From there it was easy for me to get through the restaurant to a table that worked well. There was absolutely no way I could use the restroom but everything else was all right.

Penny Ann's Café Salt Lake City Utah


June 18, 2014

This place was connected to an apartment complex. There was a little bit of parking for the restaurant and we found the fairly good handicap parking spot. Getting in was okay there were two doors but was easy enough to do. Inside we found a fairly good place to sit and the table worked well. For the restroom you have to get a key from the restaurant and go down the hall. There was a ton of space in the restroom and it was easy to get to the sink but the paper towels I could not reach.

Ogden's George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park Ogden Utah

June 18, 2014

There were a good number of handicap parking spots and was easy to get to the door from there. Inside the building there is a small dinosaur Museum and there was a little bit more upstairs with an elevator to get there. Outside there are plenty of accessible trails around with plenty of model dinosaurs to look at. Some places and things like certain bridges and parts of trails weren’t accessible. The one restroom I used was a pretty good and accessible one.
