Overland Expo West

Overland Expo West, the first in a series of four events celebrating overlanding, takes place May 17-19 in Flagstaff.  Overlanding is defined as when consumers travel by vehicle focusing on exploration and adventure – and where the journey is at the heart of the experience. Overlanding is not new. What has changed is its accessibility and affordability. It is attracting a new generation of adventure-seekers to hit the open road. Many people have grown tired of the traditional vacation model, often focused on crowded resorts and tourist traps. With the rise of advanced technologies, such as GPS and mapping apps, and the availability of high-quality camping gear and off-road vehicles, overlanding has become more accessible than ever before.
