As part of our partnerships to offer Overland to the Expo adventures, Arizona Land Rover Owners Club is hosting on an epic 4-day journey to two of the most scenic, remote and dramatically beautiful overlanding destinations that are famous far beyond their locale in the Southwestern United States.

The adventure will begin after the 2012 Arizona Land Rover Rally, (May 10–13 in Cottonwood, Arizona).

AZLRO will lead a lucky group through northern Arizona to the amazing scenery of the Arizona/Utah border: Monument Valley. Following a Navajo guide, the group will leave the valley floor to climb high atop Hunt’s Mesa. The vista from Hunt’s Mesa is something you’ll remember for a lifetime, and a view that few people will ever experience due to private land laws of the Navajo Nation.

From that majestic point the trip continues north to Halls Crossing on the eastern shores of beautiful Lake Powell, where the famous historic Hole in the Rock Trail begins.

The Muskoka Foundation, whose tagline is “Use What You Know to Do Good as You Go,” is getting the summer off to a great start with programs throughout Canada, USA, Latin America and Africa. Many overlanders don’t realize how much of a difference they can make in their own backyards: Muskoka has volunteering locations in Inuvik, along the Top of the World Highway; in Seward, along the spectacular Kenai Peninsula; and down to Canyon de Chelley in Arizona, to name a few. 

To say that Overland Expo 2011 was a huge success is in fact an understatement: the growth, excitement, and quality blew us away.
