FEATURED EVENT

Overland Expo® PNW isn’t just a stop on the world’s most outstanding overlanding event series. It’s a rendezvous point where leading experts in the field, pro-level equipment manufacturers, and enthusiasts come together to get outfitted. Get trained. And get inspired to get out there. 

Check out over 300 exhibitors, educational programming, and hands-on exercises that will get you ready for a season of exploration, while learning from the best. Then level up for your next trip into the backcountry. 

But before you head out, be sure to check out a more civilized basecamp—the town of Redmond just 5 minutes away. You’ll trade the rooftop tent in for a warm bed, a cold microbrew and some great local flavor. Come to think of it, maybe all those washboards can wait.
