The Chugach Mountains shouldn't be reserved for hikers and runners alone, as they currently are. The Swiss Alps powerfully demonstrate how making rugged alpine terrain accessible to all transforms lives. We should wholeheartedly support opening similar alpine experiences in the Chugach Mountains to all users, regardless of physical ability - rather than allowing two user groups to maintain a monopoly on these public lands and their profound therapeutic power.
Amazing, 5 star, adaptive Mountain Biking in the Swiss Alps for combat veterans and people with disabilities
