Accessibility Statement

Last updated: January 2026

First Mile Hikes (firstmilehikes.com) is committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible, including individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to provide an inclusive and user-friendly experience for everyone who wants to explore beginner-friendly hiking trails within one hour of major U.S. cities.

We strive to ensure that our website is usable by people of all abilities and are actively working to improve accessibility and usability. Wherever possible, we aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA, which provide guidance on making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.

As part of our accessibility efforts, we work to use clear and readable text, maintain logical content structure, provide descriptive headings and link text, and design pages that can be navigated using a keyboard. We also aim to ensure sufficient color contrast and write content in plain language to support readability. Because First Mile Hikes is an evolving website, some content or features may not yet fully meet all accessibility standards. We view accessibility as an ongoing process and continue to make improvements as the site grows.

Some content or functionality on First Mile Hikes may rely on third-party services, tools, or embeds, such as maps or external links. While we strive to choose accessible options whenever possible, we do not have full control over the accessibility of third-party content.

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of First Mile Hikes. If you experience any difficulty accessing content, encounter an accessibility barrier, or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at firstmilehikes@proton.me. When reaching out, it is helpful if you include the page URL where you experienced the issue, a brief description of the problem, and the device, browser, or assistive technology you were using, if applicable.

As First Mile Hikes continues to expand, accessibility will remain an important part of our development and content strategy. We are committed to learning, improving, and making our hiking resources accessible to as many people as possible.
