Expectations: This Classic Land Journey features long touring days, many full-day excursions, and a full and active itinerary with a faster pace and longer distances. Some days may have activities with higher intensity and more active choices/options. Excursions require standing and walking for extended periods of time over more difficult terrain (muddy/rocky walking/hiking trails, stairs without handrails, limited or no access to elevators). The itinerary includes two lake cruises and several long transfers by motorcoach. Some days may require early morning departures. Travelers will be in remote and/or rugged regions and will be touring at higher altitudes with steep ascents/descents. Leisure time is built in throughout the itinerary. There are options for more active excursions (such as moderate hiking, swimming, canoeing, bicycling, rafting, or kayaking), though another choice may be offered for an alternate skill level. Walks/hikes may be up to 3 miles.
Appropriate for: Travelers who are physically fit, lead active lives, are comfortable participating in long days of activities, and expect some physical exertion.
