Man behind beloved Bishop Castle finally gets adaptive wheelchair, explores RMNP

A long-time dream has finally become a reality for Jim Bishop. At the age of 79, Bishop is finally getting the chance to explore the beautiful state of Colorado thanks to an adaptive wheelchair.

Good for Mr. Bishop! I met Mr. Bishop about 15 years ago and he's a real firecracker! It's kinda sad to see him ambulatory and not shouting common sense from a mountain top somewhere (like I know he want's to do). Perhaps we can show him some more love by volunteering to help him finish his castle? I know I'd be down for that.

51 year he spent building the castle not 47

That contraption will just tear up the sod which keeps the rocks in our parks stable. Lets just stay within our capabilities. It is supposed to last forever, not ten more years with all the erosion that stupidity will cause. NOT A FAN.

Yeah right….all three of them.

They’re literally on trails 😂🤡 if people can ride their bikes on trails, why can’t an old man ride his wheelchair to enjoy our beautiful planet.

What a stupid comment lol. “Lets just stay within our capabilities” is the most anti human statement

U are a total moron! Some light rubber tires isn’t doing anything more than feet would do walking across. Please stfu you aren’t a professional at all.
