During the snow-free season (generally May to October), the Illecillewaet Campground, Abandoned Rails Trail and the Summit of Rogers Pass Picnic Area are all accessible to persons with disabilities. The new Hemlock Grove Boardwalk and Picnic Area in Glacier National Park has been designed to barrier free standards. A theatre hearing assist system is available at the Rogers Pass Centre. An all terrain wheelchair is available for loan at the Illecillewaet Campground welcome station. During the spring and winter, the Rogers Pass Centre is the only facility in Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks that meets barrier-free standards.

All facilities listed meet wheelchair accessibility standards.
