Before giving up on this idea, it would seem to me that the ADA and
equal access for handicapped people would trump the no wheels on the
pct, or in wilderness areas.

I cannot imagine someone in a specially designed wheelchair being
denied access to the PCT, and this sort of backpack may fall into that
category.

IANAL, but I would bet there is more to this than simply "no wheels on
the pct" especially for a disabled hiker
