Small Towns — Midpines, California

Small Towns — Midpines, California

Midpines, California Population 1,204 Last but certainly not least, Midpines makes a great stop on a Yosemite road trip — plus it’s the perfect home base for day trips to the park. And there are not one, but two wheelchair-accessible properties in town. The Yosemite Bug (www.yosemitebug.com) tops the list, as this rustic mountain resort offers a wheelchair-accessible room that’s furnished with two queen beds and has a bathroom with a roll-in shower. And if you’d like to try something different, AutoCamp Yosemite (emerginghorizons.com/new-yosemite-autocamp-features-custom-designed-wheelchair-accessible-airstreams) offers several accessible glamping options. Their custom built wheelchair-accessible X Suite is reminiscent of an upscale RV. It’s furnished with a small galley, and includes a queen-sized bed and a bathroom with a roll-in shower. Alternatively they also have two accessible Classic Suites and an fully furnished accessible glamping tent. And the YARTS (yarts.com) shuttle stops at both properties, which allows folks to sit back and enjoy the ride to the park, and skip the sometimes long entrance lines.

Small Towns — Hiltons, Virginia

Small Towns — Hiltons, Virginia

Hiltons, Virginia Population 1,688 Located in Southwest Virginia, the Crooked Road is a 200-mile music heritage trail, that winds through the Appalachian Mountains. Along the route you’ll find major music venues and heritage sites that highlight the traditional gospel, blue grass and mountain music of the region. And Hiltons is a required stop on any Crooked Road adventure, as it’s the location of the Carter Family Fold (/www.carterfamilyfold.org). Located on the AP and Sara Carter homestead, this concert venue is famous for its Saturday night performances, and in keeping with tradition, only acoustic instruments are allowed, and alcohol is prohibited. The energy however, is ever present. Access is good throughout the complex, and accessible seating is available up front. The shows are quite affordable — usually just $10 — and the people-watching is top notch. It’s a great stop on any Appalachia road trip. Unfortunately there are no hotels in Hiltons, so plan to overnight in nearby Bristol.
