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.

A very well-done program. Especially enjoyed John Rothman and the field trip we took to the Hanna House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The architecture survey course was excellent, considering that the instructor of necessity covered three millennia in four hours! Comfortable hotel (Hilton Bayfront).

This was an experiment to see how I liked traveling alone as a recent widow. The group was welcoming, and I look forward to signing up for another program in the future.

i do not have friends and addresses with me...i have already recommended richard lawrence of rancho mirage..i live in a large community and will spread the word..people listen to me.. this was my first elderhostel without my husband who passed 2 1/2 years ago. strange for me..the next trip i take with roads scholar i will book a single room. i think that something should be done with all the single ladies...would have liked a welcoming drink..and would have like some wine at the last dinner.you have lots of women alone...so create something special for them...it's hard.

This program was informative, relaxing, and housed in the cozy Embassy Suites. As a solo participant, I felt included and welcomed. I would recommend this program to those who are interested in the lives of famous artists and politics as examined by John Rothmann.

Mary from Wichita, KS Number of programs attended: 12
Date attended: 04/29/12 - 05/04/12
If you'd enjoy a physically undemanding, but brain-stimulating program, in a beautiful setting, this program is for you. How politics have affected the Supreme Court, ever since the Constitution was put into action; historic Egypt and her larger-than-life rulers; a view of French art and a summary of California and San Francisco history--with a trip to the NASA Ames Research facility to give us a peek into the future of space exploration...what more could you ask! And they even included an evening of familiar folk music, sung by a most personable entertainer!
