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.

My grandson, Jackson (10 yr) and I are going on this program 7/28-8/2. Because we are on the east coast, must arrive day before and leave day after to use the Van service. Anyone else? This is fifth Road Scholar I have done with a 10 yr old grandchild - it's their 10th birthday present!

Alan, we decided to stay at the Holiday Inn. Are you taking the VanGO shuttle? I was thinking of renting a car but not sure if it made sense. My grandson, Jackson, is 10 yr and the youngest of three boys,

Hi Dolores, we have not had any serious accidents. The rafting company requires that we complete the waivers. We are mindful of the safety concerns on this and all of our programs. You and your granddaughter will make some great memories together on this program.

This will be our second RS program. We went to Yellowstone last year and it was great. Again, we will be taking our two oldest grandsons, Grant (11) and Micah (9), who are cousins. They live in the DC area and we live in Houston. We'll be driving in from Las Vegas and look forward to meeting all fellow travelers. Jim & Gwen Montano
