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.

Suplizio Field– Grand Junction Colorado


August 21, 2013

Night one
 
There was good handicap parking that was fairly close to the Stadium with enough loading area. It was easy to get through the gate, which we had to go to the side to get through since the turnstile would not work for me. From there we had to use the elevator to get to our seats in the ADA Pavilion. When we got there it was just a big open area with easy access to the seats which were all folding chairs that were movable.  This was next to a very accessible family type restroom this was great and we never had to wait.
 
 But now to the seats it was easy to park and had plenty of room but the view was obstructed by the sideways horizontal bars which was extremely annoying when trying to watch a baseball game.  There was also no concession stands up there so my parents had to go back down to get food which happened to be on dollar hot dog night.

Dinosaur journey – Fruita Colorado



August 21, 2013

There were a hand full handicap spots and easy entry into the building and to the video room was big and easy to get into. Also the place was open and very accessible, but there were steps up to look down into the lab which is not wheelchair accessible. The store was average for a gift shop some places were harder to get through than others.  The restroom worked well.

Which wich – Grand Junction Colorado

August 21, 2013

There was a handicapped spot or maybe two close to the building.  Inside was fairly accessible; in front there is room for you to mark on your bag with what you want on your sandwich. The counter where you pay was okay and worked fine. Where you pick up your sandwiches the counter was rather high and the drinks were fill your own. It was a little difficult to get to and park under the table; it was a little tight and crowded around the table.

Western Colorado botanical Gardens – Grand Junction Colorado


August 20, 2013

This was a small garden. The parking lot was kind of small but there were three or four handicap spots from there it was easy to get to the building.  The butterfly house was kind of crowded and there were minimal places where I could turn around. The trails outside were mostly accessible, except a few places here and there were not very easy to get through or to. The bathroom you had to come back out of the garden to the other side of the building this was very accessible and I had plenty of room.

Springhill suites – Grand Junction Colorado


August 20, 2013

This was next door to where we had breakfast at the dream Café. I had read that they had accessible rooms, so we visited to see. They had a King room with a roll in shower or two Queens with a roll in shower. The two Queen roll in shower was what we would need so we looked at that one. This was a great room with plenty of space.  The bathrooms were really two different rooms one with a sink and a large roll in shower.  The other room had a sink and toilet.  Also the bed was open underneath so our lift would've gone under. We were already staying elsewhere but this would more of what we need and very accessible.

Dream Café – Grand Junction Colorado


August 20, 2013

This was located in the downtown area there was a handicapped parking spot that was fairly close. There was one door to get in and one door to get out both worked well.  We got a big table with half booth seating and half chairs which worked great with plenty of extra space. I don't think I could've gotten to the rest room.
