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.
Set out on a journey through the Pacific Northwest to learn about its glorious cities, harbors and islands on both sides of the border. Experts provide unique perspectives throughout your adventure, from the historic architecture of Seattle to contemporary life in the San Juan Islands. Look for orcas off the Vancouver harbor and enjoy the parks and gardens of Victoria.


Highlights

• Take in Northwest highlights, including spectacular Multnomah Falls near Portland and Seattle's Pike Place Market.
• Travel by scenic train to Vancouver, B.C., where its early days come alive as you meander through Gastown, Chinatown and the renowned Museum of Anthropology.

Activity Notes

Walking up to two miles a day on city streets, trails, garden pathways; some stairs. Standing for up to one hour at a time; must be able to embark/disembark transport ferries, trains and buses, some while transporting your baggage.
