BCMOS Wilderness Access Program

British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society (BCMOS) is an independent non-profit society dedicated to enriching the lives of people with significant physical disabilities through wilderness recreation.

BCMOS was founded in 1985 to make it possible for people with physical disabilities to access B.C.'s great outdoors. Excursions range from day hikes to challenging treks.

Since 1995, the centerpiece of BCMOS's programs has been the TrailRider, a specially designed wilderness access vehicle. With one wheel, and "sherpas" back and front, the TrailRider can tackle any terrain. It has twice summited Kilimanjaro, but also allowed countless fishing trips, school outings and family afternoons outdoors.

BCMOS offers a variety of seasonal programs: hikes (including day excursions, theme hikes and geocaching), a popular gliding program and kayaking.

We make TrailRiders available for rent ($10 per day), year round. For details, call 604-688-6464 ext. 117.

Late last year we opened a new hiking centre at Pacific Spirit Regional Park, ready for the 2012 season.

And TrailRiders can now be found in many communities across North America.
