More than 350 exhibitors and over 175 hours of educational programming, including classes, demos and roundtables, await attendees 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,” said 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

Founded in 2021, Overland Expo Mountain West was 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.
