The Overland Expo Foundation is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with New Mexico Black Range! As part of our shared mission to promote education and responsible overland travel, New Mexico Black Range has generously donated one space on their upcoming Ghost Divide Expedition to the Foundation.

If your prospective Overland Expo West trip involves copious amounts of pavement, roadside diners, and dingy motels, consider airing-down, engaging 4WD, and taking the path less traveled with New Mexico Black Range.

The Ghost Divide Expedition will provide a demanding (yet rewarding) experience—the days will be long, the terrain will be rugged, and the pace will be brisk. The overland-based tour will require participants to be self-supportive with regards to vehicle, equipment, provisions, meals, and supplies. All nights will include camping and enjoying the company of fellow overlanders, deep in the backcountry. For those that join in, the only guarantee is that they will conclude their adventure with new friends, dirty rigs, big smiles, and an accomplishment that will make their fellow overlanders envious.
