Adaptive Hiking: TerrainHopper Ride at Late Night Trailhead, Red Rock Canyon
The TerrainHopper is a quiet, 4-wheel-drive mobility device. It has four electric motors, four-wheel suspension, and can be controlled by either handlebars or by joystick to fit the hiker’s needs. It is a rock crawler with 10 inches off ground clearance. Maximum speed is 4 mph. The side rails raise so you can transfer in to the rotating seat from either side.
Our TerrainHoppers are considered mobility devices on this trail that does not allow motorized vehicles, and so we need to respect that special allowance and other trail users.
You must be able to transfer into and out of the TerrainHopper. Bring your trusted transfer help. We have a motorized chair lift and a Hoyer lift to assist with transfer height differences from your wheelchair to the TerrainHopper.
