The public is invited to attend the event on June 21 at 1 p.m. FWP and the Montana State Parks Foundation will introduce the new Action Trackchair, an all-terrain wheelchair designed to empower individuals of all abilities to explore the state park. This all-terrain wheelchair will remain at the park available free of charge for the public to use.
FWP is enhancing the inclusive and welcoming environment for all at Lone Pine thanks to support from the Montana State Parks Foundation, the Christopher and Dana Reeves Foundation’s Quality of Life Grants Program, and Hydro Flask’s Parks for All Grant Program.
