Day Trips

Walking Level Key

Level 2: Leisurely 鈥 Some days are longer than others but move at a consistent pace. Passengers should be able to easily climb a flight of stairs, stand for short periods of time and walk for reasonable distances, possibly over uneven terrain (cobblestones, gravel, etc).
Level 3: Moderate 鈥 Days tend to be longer and operate at a quicker pace. Expect to stand and walk for long periods with changes in gradient, terrain.
Level 4: Active 鈥 Days are long and move at a more vigorous pace. Scheduled activities may require physical effort and require passengers to be in good shape. Expect long periods of walking and standing on rough surfaces.
