No other event features a gathering of so many overland legends, authors, and experts. Overland Expo MTN WEST offers more than 300 session-hours of incredible programs—that’s 150+ different classes, slideshows, demonstrations, and activities—brought to you by 100+ instructors and presenters from around the world.
AUGUST 22-24, 2025
THE RANCH // LOVELAND, CO, USA
FRI 8-5 | SAT 8-5 | SUN 9-3
For MOUNTAIN WEST, 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.
2025 MTN West Schedule will be posted approximately 2-3 weeks before 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.
