Here's what people are saying about our hiking adventures:
“Death Valley was our first hiking program with Road Scholar. Our timing was perfect to experience the super bloom. The hikes varied in length, walking surfaces, challenges, and a mix of spectacular scenery. Our instructors were instrumental in bringing the Valley to life. We’re trying to decide which hiking program to do next!”
— Christine from Walnut Creek, CA
“This trip offered a nice balance of light hiking, natural history education, and local history. Many of the hikes were in-and-outs, so everyone could hike at their own pace without fears of holding up the group or being left behind. If you want to see Death Valley and want an easy hiking experience, this is a trip I can highly recommend!”
— Diana from Omaha, NE
