Disabilities

The Americans with Disabilities Act is more than 30 years old, but many businesses and tourist attractions remain inaccessible. That makes it tough for disabled people to know where they can easily visit.

Accessible Black Hills is a volunteer organization that rates businesses and tourist attractions across the region for disabled residents and tourists. It plans to provide grants so destinations can improve accessibility.
