AITA for refusing to change my travel plans to accommodate my son's girlfriend who has physical limitations ?

I love camping and hiking on the weekends. My wife always hated it and hardly go, one of my children doesn't like it either, but, to my happiness, my children Emma (25F) and Mike (28M) love it and we do it several times a year.

Mike has been with Jenny (26F) for 1y (ish) and she has some mobility difficulties, she can walk, but not long distances. She is a kind and good girl, we have a great relationship and because of that my wife and I invited her to go to the beach with us and the rest of the family.

I wanted to go to this beach because of a nearby trail that led to a wonderful beach and on the second day of the trip (7 days), I announced that I would do this trail and Emma agreed to go along, her boyfriend did too and I invited Mike to go.

Later that day, he pulled me aside asking if we could actually go to another beach accessible by car so Jenny could go too.

I said I didn't want to, because I wanted to do the trail and see this beach, but that we could do that on another day, but the next day would be this trail. Mike said that Jenny was feeling left out of not being able to participate, as my daughter was also taking her boyfriend and she would be left out due to her physical limitations.

I pointed out the fact that 4 people besides her weren't going on this hike either and I'm not refusing to do that, but that tomorrow I had other plans.

He said that I should understand her situation and not force a situation in which she is clearly being excluded by physical limitations and that if that were the case, he wouldn't go either.

I agreed and said okay. The next day, by a miracle, my other son wanted to go and the four of us went on this trail.

My son barely talk to me properly the whole trip (Jenny too) and when I suggested we go to another beach by car, he said I had some nerve to suggest that after all.

My wife and the rest of the family have decided to stay out of this, but I'm at a loss.

AITA?
