“Words cannot describe the intimate dynamic of an Overland trip…

something I crave every day I am not on a trip or visiting my Overland friends. At Overland, everyone is important and everything that we do is as a team. Such a supportive and collaborative environment is hard to find anywhere else. I am so grateful for the long-lasting connections that I made on my trips!”

“The people on the trip were so fun…

and the welcoming environment was amazing. I really enjoyed meeting new people and spending time in the outdoors. I loved seeing the glacier and hiking to the firehouse during our backcountry trip to Mount Baker.

“It was really cool to see all of the Spanish hikers and interact with them…

My favorite part of the trip was definitely going to the refuges on the weekends. I really really enjoyed hiking on a trail all day and then finding this building in the mountains in the middle of nowhere and then staying there for the night
