Accessibility Statement

A site that should work for more visitors

Accessibility Statement

GrandCanyonVisitorCenter.com is committed to making its visitor information usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including people who use assistive technologies or navigate with visual, hearing, mobility or cognitive disabilities.

Clear structure

We aim to use meaningful headings, readable text, logical navigation and descriptive link language so visitors can understand page structure and move through content efficiently.

Useful image text

Informational images should include descriptive alternative text when the image contributes meaning. Decorative images should not create unnecessary noise for screen-reader users.

Responsive layouts

Pages are designed to adapt across desktop, tablet and mobile widths, with content arranged so it remains readable when columns stack on smaller screens.

Our accessibility target

Working Toward WCAG 2.2 AA

We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as a practical target for ongoing site improvements. This is an accessibility goal, not a claim that every page or third-party component has been independently certified as fully conformant.

Navigation and readability

Keyboard, Focus and Zoom Should Remain Usable

Interactive controls should be reachable without a mouse, visible focus should remain understandable, and text and layouts should remain usable when visitors enlarge content or use browser zoom. We treat problems in these areas as accessibility issues worth correcting.

Third-party content

Some embedded tools are outside our control

This site may embed maps, videos, weather tools, RSS content or other services supplied by third parties. We try to choose useful services, but their accessibility is controlled by the provider. When possible, we also provide a text explanation or direct source link so essential information is not available only through an embed.

Accessibility at the destination

Planning for accessible Grand Canyon travel

Website accessibility and park accessibility are separate issues. Our visitor Accessibility guide covers South Rim transportation, viewpoints, trails, mobility considerations and official National Park Service resources for planning an accessible visit.

Report an accessibility problem

If you encounter a barrier that prevents you from using part of this website, please contact us and include the page URL, the problem you encountered, and—if you are comfortable sharing it—the browser or assistive technology involved. We will use that information to investigate practical improvements.
