Trip Overview
Keep the good vibes rolling after Overland Expo West and join Fernweh Guided Expeditions for a two-day alpine escape into the breathtaking Medicine Bow National Forest.
This isn’t just a post-Expo add-on—it’s a chance to slow down, explore hidden corners of the Snowy Range, and share the journey with a like-minded crew of vanlifers, overlanders, and nature-lovers. We’ve reserved multiple campsites, but space is limited—so grab your spot early.
