This is a great program. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is a very well planned program. The knowledge of the instructors and the passion they have make this an exceptional program. The K Bar S Lodge is in a very beautiful setting with a very friendly and helpful staff. It rates a ten.

The program includes a wide variety of activities that are inspiring as well as educational and enjoyable. Accommodations are quite upscale and the time is well-spent.

The week at the K Bar S could not have been better. The group was very friendly, the guide Karen helpful and knowledgeable, weather perfect, food very good, and the daily programs educational and amazing at different points. I would recommend this program for anyone who wants to see all the Black Hills has to offer.

What a wonderful experience our trip to the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore etc. Its a lifetime memory, of learning, meeting new people in our lives and scheduling more Road Scholar experiences in the future. A new door opens in our lives!!!! Thank You!!!

My first Road Scholar program which will be difficult to outshine. Tour guide was friendly yet professional, possessed strong communication skills and was exceptionally knowledgeable. The accommodations were a respite after full days; clean, well-appointed with conference rooms and dining on-site. As I mentioned at the beginning, this experience will be difficult to match, much less surpass.

The accommodations were excellent. The field trips were interesting, varied and lead by a very warm, enthusiastic, and organized tour guide. The people in our group were friendly, considerate, and caring. A great experience!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS trip!!!! Worth every penny.

This program should be on anyone's list who enjoys beautiful scenery, historic and iconic sites, wildlife, and U.S. history. The leader was delightful as well as well-organized. Accommodations were first-rate in a beautiful location that we hated to leave. There are very few lodges where you can see George Washington every morning and illuminated every evening!

This was a wonderful program. My husband and I have been on numerous others and we found the leader, Penny, to be fun and very organized! The program was well balanced on content of the American Indians and early settlers. The accommodations were superb as far as cleanliness, staff, location and meals were concerned. The fact that the other participants were friendly, non-complainers and on time, made for a thoroughly enjoyable time!

You are asking for to much information Don't overkill.Your program was well presented but your program evaluation needs a lot of help. Vincent Alonge

I had a wonderful time. Brought my son with me (33 years old) and he also had a pleasant and informative vacation despite the age differences.

Outstanding program. Extremely well presented by all instructors. Bob Drabek was very organized and helpful. Enjoyed his personal stories related to the program. Very educational, learned a lot in this short week. Thank you.

Kathleen and I were extremely pleased with the entire week experiencing Mt Rushmore, the Badlands and the entire program. Our Leader, Bob Dravek was well organized and presented an outstanding program from the introduction to the final closing farewell. Thanks for the experence and fellowship. Vince & Kathleen Alonge

This was our first Road Scholar program and it was great. Bob Dravek, our leader, was outstanding in all respects. He was knowledgeable, caring and competent. Our accomodations at the KBarS Lodge were also outstanding. The pastoral venue was truly representative of the area and we enjoyed watching the deer herd graze while waiting for dinner. The staff were friendly and made sure that they took care of all of out needs. The food service was outstanding. There was no way that we could have seen as much if we were traveling on our own. The only downside was the pace of the trip. Most of the attendees were seniors and we could have used a little downtime. We will definitely take more Road Scholar trips.

Best and most informative and enjoyable program. Marked high 5.

This program will enhance your knowledge of the old west and you'll learn about the ecology, natural environment and people of the area.

No screw ups. Lots of time doing things and nice lectures by erudite instructors. No crisis of any kind. Clean and clear air. Polite people everywhere. Unexpected pleasures in talking to Native americans, the paleontology museum in Hill City, the Comstock mine, lack of obnoxious tourists in general.

This was a truly delightful experience- every day was interesting and educational.

We were “on the road” more than most Elderhostel programs. These daily field trips were well scheduled with ample time at each attraction. Clean and frequent restroom stops were planned. In addition to classroom speakers, our group leader, Jerry Gau, gave informative, interesting and entertaining commentary as we drove through the beautiful countryside. The KbarS Lodge staff was especially friendly and helpful. The Manager would meet our bus upon returning each day with a warm and friendly welcome. Highly recommended.
