The trails are paved and accessible, however some features require moving off the trail to explore fully. The trail does not extend into the interior of the storeroom, cemetery, ki, orchard, and acequia. There are two access points to the church, both equipped with ramps. The front door has a ramp leading down into the nave. At the north end of the nave are 5 stairs with hand rails leading up to the sanctuary. The sanctuary can also be accessed by a ramp from the side entrance into the sacristy. The church floor is composed of brick tiles which may be rough and uneven for wheelchair-users. Service animals required because of a disability are allowed everywhere in the mission grounds.
