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.

Brian Peck

Brian Peck is an independent wildlife consultant who works with the Great Bear Foundation and Natural Resources Defense Council to bring about the recovery of grizzly and wolf populations in North America. Brian spent 21 years with Boulder, Colorado’s Mountain Parks and Open Space system, first as a Ranger and naturalist, and later as a natural resources and education coordinator. From 1992-95, he served as the wolf and grizzly recovery coordinator for the National Audubon Society, before beginning his current career as a wildlife consultant. Brian has served on the coordinating committee for the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, and has led natural history programs for Glacier and Yellowstone Institutes, National Geographic’s Jason Project, Off the Beaten Path, and Road Scholar for 15 years.

Becky Lomax

Becky Lomax first started hiking in Glacier National Park while in college when she worked for two summers at Glacier Park Lodge. Later, she returned to lead hiking and backpacking trips for a decade. She is the author of the Moon Handbook to the park, which is now in its third edition. Becky has also published numerous articles on Glacier’s wildlife, trails, history, lodges and more in magazines such as Smithsonian, Backpacker, Montana Magazine and Montana Outdoors.

Ashley Mason

Ashley Mason is a veteran in the field of conservation education on Northwest Montana. Formerly a Glacier National Park naturalist, she has also worked with organizations such as The Glacier Institute, the Crown of the Continent Education Consortium, Swan Ecosystem Center, Flathead Land Trust and Upward Bound. She is currently the conservation educator for Flathead Audubon Society. Her first taste of Elderhostel was in 1992, when she was an intern at Big Creek Outdoor Education Center. Since then she has worked as a field instructor and on-site coordinator, along with her primary role as geology instructor. She received her B.S. in geology from Guilford College in Greensboro, N.C. with minors in biology and music, and completed graduate studies in environmental studies at the University of Montana. She lives in Kalispell with her husband, two daughters, cat and six chickens. She loves to make her programs as fun as they are informative!

Stephanie Paidas

Stephanie Paidas-Dukarm first came to Montana in 1999 for a graduate program in psychology, and she fell in love with the state while earning a master’s degree. Since then, she has led groups in Glacier National Park, conducted fieldwork research in the Glacier area, and has published written works and photographs of Montana. She is currently writing a doctoral dissertation focused on ecopsychology and the psychological benefits of spending time in wilderness. Though Stephanie has been living in Alaska since 2008, she is thrilled to return to Road Scholar this summer for another season in her favorite wild place.
