OVERLAND ADVENTURE PLANNING

Planning, logistics, packing… Preparing for any adventure can sometimes feel stressful.  Without the right support and resources, planning for an overland adventure can be downright daunting.  Colorado Overlander is here to take the guesswork out of every step by providing you the support and knowledge you need to make this overlanding adventure truly unforgettable.

Let’s get started and dive into three important topics when selecting a vehicle: 

VEHICLE CAPACITY

How many people will be traveling in the vehicle? Consider seating, sleeping arrangements, and gear storage.

VEHICLE CAPABILITY

What type of driving/trails are you expecting to encounter? Think about vehicle width, clearance, and off-road capabilities.

TRIP OBJECTIVES

What are your top priorities? Focus on factors like vehicle range, storage capacity, and comfort.
