The series continues to expand its reach and impact while staying true to its original mission: to make overlanding more accessible, safer, and rewarding for everyone. The Overland Expo PNW isn’t just about selling gear or showing off modified vehicles—it’s about fostering a culture of preparedness, exploration, and environmental responsibility.
