AUGUST 25-27, 2023
THE RANCH
LOVELAND, CO, USA
FRI 8-5 | SAT 8-5 | SUN 8-3
For MOUNTAIN WEST 2023, we have 150+ different classes and programs, totaling 250+ session hours. From beginner to advanced sessions, we have something for everyone. Learn in classroom and hands-on settings and get inspired by roundtable discussions all weekend.
2023 MTN WEST Day & Weekend Pass program list & schedule will be available 2 weeks prior to the event.
Our training pavilions get you out of the classroom and into the field. Each year we bring you technical classes essential for overlanding. Rotating topics to cover everything from how-tos about electronics to hands-on maintenance and roadside repairs to first aid and injury assessment to showing how to set up gear and what to take with you (and sometimes leave behind).
With our numerous navigation classes, there are no more excuses for getting lost when your GPS dies. Learn communications skills to enhance your overland experience. Brush up on your art of travel techniques with photography and videography classes. Stay safe with situational awareness tips from experts in their field. No matter if you drive a truck or motorcycle, we’ve got classes for you.
Want to know more about Africa? Australia? What it’s like to travel solo? As a couple or family? From Regional Q&As to expert tips, the roundtables can help you plan for the trip of a lifetime. Listen to panelists with extensive experience and enjoy their tales from the road!
Considering investing in an overland rig or motorcycle, and want to see how someone else has modified their rig to travel? Take a look at our “My Overland Vehicle / Moto” series. This “show and tell” series is about vehicle and moto customizations that have been put to the test of time and miles; bring your questions. Many will also share tips on how to travel.
Want to know how a specific product works? The exhibition area is the place to be. Check the schedule for times of detailed demonstrations. Look for everything from solar cooking to rooftop tents to air compressors and tow straps.
We’ve covered the walls with maps, featuring the most traveled continents and overland routes. Looking for route planning tips? Bring your maps and stop by our “I’m Not Lost, I’m Exploring” session. Or come by and listen to stories and ideologies from seasoned travelers, as well as learn about the essentials for those just getting introduced to overlanding.
Are you looking to up your camping game? Want to learn what gear essentials well-traveled overlanders don’t leave home without? Spend some time in this area to learn the ins and outs of overlanding from the experts.
Want to know how certain gear functions, how seasoned travelers pack their rigs or feed themselves on the road, or what it’s like to bring your four-legged friend on your next adventure? Check out the Backcountry Skills Area for information you’re bound to put to use during your next adventure.
For kids, by kids! We pack the weekend with activities tailored to adventurous kids and their parents. Check out the Junior Overland Explorer program and earn patches for select classes. Kids of all ages can learn about nature journaling, first aid, knot-tying and more. For kids ages 10 and up, look for select afternoon activities—kids can learn some expedition skills with help from the Camel Trophy training team.
Overland Expo first had the pleasure of meeting the Mali Mish Family at Overland Expo West. We were so amazed by their story we requested they join us at Overland Expo Mountain West 2022 to teach classes and lead roundtable discussions.

“This picturesque ride had been full of excitement and adventure, just as I had imagined it would be, and it has left me longing for my next opportunity to sneak behind that velvet rope, disappear, and truly experience all that the artist has created.” — Aaron Estep

A great adventure is shared with your favorite humans and non-humans 🐶
Don’t leave your pup at home with the worry of wet, muddy or sandy paws wrecking your Jeep’s carpet.
Designed with adventures in mind, Armorlite’s super durable flooring dries quickly and won’t absorb water, eliminating mildew, mold and stink – unlike your factory
carpet.
Armorlite also cleans up easily, making dog hair a non-issue. So, get rid of that nasty old carpet today, and let your furry friend dance in the rain and play in the mud without worry!
