You will have access to a large, fully accessible area for camping but will not have gear available. Accessible in this case means that it is fairly flat with packed dirt and short grass. You can get around with your wheelchair but a Freewheel and/or knobby tires are recommended. You will need to bring all of your own camping/sleeping gear. (See packing list) There will be an area to drop off camping gear at the camping area and then you will park your car nearby in the parking lot (about 50’-150’ away.) There is also an area to park your truck or camper nearby if you use that for sleeping. At camp there is a 20’x20’ tent where a kitchen and dining area is set up. Breakfast and Dinner will be cooked for you starting Friday night and ending Monday morning with breakfast. Lunch is on your own. Accessible restrooms and showers are in close proximity to the adaptive camp. Please come prepared with the necessities. Please see attached packing list. The suggested arrival time is between 4:00-6:30pm in order to set up and settle in before the events begin. Staff will be on site all day, ready to help accommodate and support whenever you show up.

There is no accessible lodging available on site at Grand Targhee Resort but there are hotels located within 15 miles if you would prefer a more private setting, call for accessibility and pricing.

Plan to arrive between 4:00-6:30 on Friday (9/4) evening so that you can check in, get all the info you need and get settled before the Welcome dinner and program starts at 7:00. Staff will be around all day to help you transport gear to the camping area and set up. If you cannot make it by 6:30 on Friday you will miss part of the program and the best opportunity to get info about the weekend, sign up for clinics, rides and bike demos. Please make arrangements in your travel plans to accommodate this schedule. If you miss the first registration check in, there will be one more opportunity to check in at registration on Saturday between 9:00-9:30 a.m. up at the registration tent. (see map above for details.) If you arrive later than that you can anticipate delays in being able to participate in the program, clinics, demos etc.

Plan to leave mid morning or mid day on Monday (9/70 after breakfast. The kitchen tent and camp amenities will start to come down after breakfast and no bike demos will be available on Monday. If you have your own bike, you can still ride, but staff will be packing up and not necessarily available to help out.

Bikes will be available to demo on Saturday and Sunday between 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Lifts close at 4:00 and all demo bikes are due back by 4:00 p.m. The reason for this is because mountain patrol closes soon after lifts close and staff need to get their bikes back so they can prepare for the next leg of programs such as cooking dinner or preparing for Shenanigans. Please be respectful of their time and generosity and return bikes on time.

There are a limited number of adaptive bikes available and many people are using Wydaho to test out several different kinds of bikes. We want everyone to have an opportunity to try out a bike they are interested in. There is a good chance that you will have to share a bike with someone else throughout the weekend. You can sign up for one bike for either a morning or afternoon slot. If there is nobody else that wants to try out the bike that you originally sign up for, yes you can continue to use it. (This can be quite convenient because the bike is adjusted to fit you and can be a time saver to not have to re-adjust as many bikes throughout the weekend.) But, if someone else is interested in trying out the bike that you were on earlier, please be gratuitous in sharing the resources available.

The Wydaho Festival does an excellent job of including adaptive riders into the festivities and therefore ‘Shenanigans’ on Saturday evening will be an inclusive adaptive event. Last year, we hosted a keg pull using adaptive bikes and it was a blast for the entire biking community and a great way for the general public to see what we are made of. There are also adaptive specific presentations on a variety of topics throughout the weekend like grant opportunities for adaptive athletes, maintenance and building of Reactive Adaptations bikes, opportunities for adaptive riders and more. Topics subject to change.

Since there are fewer adaptive bikes at the festival than typical bikes, adaptive riders always get the priority to ride adaptive bikes. The general public is usually quite interested in all of our cool equipment so there is a discussion going on regarding if we can be inclusive of them and host a presentation and demo opportunity for the general public at Wydaho. It is still TBD.
