Overland Expo® Mountain West, the premier overlanding event in the U.S., returns to Loveland, Colorado, August 22–24, 2025. Mountain West has quickly become a can’t-miss gathering for adventurers from across North America, bringing together top gear innovators, seasoned travelers and thousands of enthusiasts for a weekend of inspiration, education and community.
Overlanding is a style of travel that blends off-road adventure with self-reliant camping, often using rugged vehicles outfitted with rooftop tents, gear storage and off-grid essentials. With overlanding, it’s less about the destination and more about the journey, exploring remote places, embracing the outdoors and traveling with everything you need to be self-sufficient along the way.
The Overland Expo Mountain West will bring together fans of the activity with more than 350 exhibitors and over 175 hours of educational programming, including classes, demos and roundtables across the three-day event. From recovery techniques to content creation and backcountry culinary skills, Overland Expo Mountain West offers hands-on learning for everyone from first-timers to experienced overlanders.
“Mountain West is where the spirit of overlanding in the Rockies comes alive,” says Jessica Kirchner, VP of Consumer Events and Show Director for Overland Expo. “It’s a celebration of adventure, learning, and the incredible community that keeps growing every year. From outdoor apparel and camping gear to the latest innovations for your vehicle, this event truly brings it all together.”
A Growing Legacy in the Rockies
The Mountain West edition of the Overland Expo series was founded in 2021, created to bring the overlanding community together in the heart of Colorado’s Front Range. The event quickly established itself as a hub for education, community connection and gear discovery, complementing Overland Expo’s long-standing events in the West, PNW and East.
Located just north of Denver, Loveland offers easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park and countless alpine trails, making it the perfect basecamp for a weekend of exploration and inspiration.
