Besides the hundreds of miles of Forest Service trails that start right across the road from the lodge?

To start with there’s a sizeable hole in the ground just north of Flagstaff. A backcountry tour of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is a bucket-list-level overland journey, and we can point you to spots overlooking the gorge where the only other people you might see will be fellow Overland Expo attendees on the same quest.

Just a few other fine destinations for a pre- or post-Expo tour of northern Arizona and adjacent states: Canyon de Chelly, Monument Valley, Wupatki, Sunset Crater, Chaco Canyon, Moab, historic Navajo trading posts, Zion National Park, Capitol Reef, historic Route 66, Sedona, Glen Canyon, Meteor Crater . . . trust us, you won’t run out of possibilities. [Look for an Overland to the Expo guide published later in the year, available as PDF, iPad version, or in print.]
