The Overland Directory
Expos, rallies, trainings and gatherings, where the gear is on display and the people who use it are standing next to it.
We’re working on adding the latest events in Utah here.
Organize an expo, rally or gathering? Send us the dates.
Southern Utah runs on spring and autumn, when the canyon country is cool enough and permits are hardest to get. The high country runs the other way: North Skyline Drive is closed in winter and the Forest Service gives May as its season of use, and the Mirror Lake byway is a summer road.
Anything organized, competitive or commercial on BLM land needs a special recreation permit from the local field office, so ask an organizer whether they hold one.
The large expos combine a vendor show, classes and a campground full of real vehicles. Rallies and brand gatherings are smaller and more social. Training weekends and club runs are where you actually drive.
The vendor hall is the least useful part.
List the event with its dates, location, what it costs to attend and a link to register. We will add it to the directory and to the state it happens in.
They are the quickest education available: a weekend of classes, hundreds of vehicles to look at, and owners who will happily tell you what they would do differently.
Use the List your business form and choose Events. Include the dates, the location and a link.
From St. George at 2,696 feet to Kings Peak at 13,528. Altitude decides what your engine, your brakes and your lungs have to work with, and how late in the year the passes open.
Pass, road and summit elevations are the figures published by the agency that manages them. Town elevations are the town’s or county’s own figure where it publishes an exact one; the rest are from the U.S. Geological Survey (3D Elevation Program at the place’s official coordinates), retrieved September 18, 2026. Every source is listed at the foot of the page.
