EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

I'm disappointed the gold leaf Rocky Mountaineer option has been dropped for 2013. Its cars promised to give a much better view than red leaf service cars. Anyone share my feelings? (Maybe we can get it reinstated?)

I am certainly for the best view we can get. I am going on June 13. What do you suggest?

If you're going 6/13, you're getting the red leaf service, I believe. I called the office last fall and asked they put a gold leaf tour back on the schedule; I't wd be good if others wd do the same. I recommend googling "Rocky Mountaineer" to see the level of services offered. After your trip, wd you post your impressions? Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill.

P.S. the picture in the one review available shows the gold leaf service. Much bigger windows than the red leaf service. Costs more, but I think it wd be worth it.

Hi Ladies - My roommate, Lyn Taylor arrives from SFO on United @ 12:53P and I'll arrive on American via DFW @ 1:45P. If your arrival times are near that we'd be glad to share cab or shuttle. Barbara

This is my 1st Road Scholar trip. I've requested a roommate but not yet been assigned. I'm also looking for 1 or more to share shuttle or taxi with from airport to hotel.
Would enjoy hearing from other single women on this trip.
