Some of us will join Frank from TopShop and his crew. He is planning a customer trip to the Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, Colorado.
Trip Details
- The Route: We’re looking at a portion of the Pony Express Trail and descending the Rocky Backcountry Discovery Route (BDT) to Denver. The route crosses just east of Salt Lake City.

This is a great opportunity to travel with experienced guides and a fun group!
Planning Phase
Note: We are currently in the early planning phase for this trip. Exact route details and meeting points will be refined as we get closer.
The Pony Express Trail
We will be following a portion of the historic Pony Express Trail. This legendary mail route operated from April 1860 to October 1861, connecting Missouri to California. It is a symbol of American West history, where riders galloped across the vast landscapes we will be exploring.
