Montana Overlanding
The goal of Montana Overlanding is to provide visitors and locals alike with a unique and authentic trip. We want to be able to show how we believe Yellowstone should be experienced. Why rent a normal car and stay in a pricey hotel while visiting a place many consider the epicenter of nature itself? RVs are a great alternative, but very difficult to navigate on Yellowstone’s skinny windy roads, forget pulling over for a picture, and do not expect to find an accessible secluded campsite. For those who seek adventure on another level, but aren’t ready to spend their entire vacation sleeping in a ground tent, in bear country, we believe we have a solution. Jeeps are the American icon for adventure at the wheel. Add a cozy rooftop tent, cooking supplies, and camp gear to that equation and you get an epic time.
