see you on sept 30!
The Pilgrimage is a yearly gathering in the mountains of Vermont for overlanders and explorers who care more about the journey than the destination, striving to go “Always a Little Further”.
We explore Vermont’s forgotten Class 4 roads, camp together, learn from one another, and strive to move through the landscape with intention and respect.
Register for The Pilgrimage or one of our other more focused events below!
Please, no rv's, airstreams or campers!
To help conserve space and to make sure camping stays manageable and compact, we are only allowing small overland style trailers at the event such as the type pictured below.
Registration for The Pilgrimage covers one vehicle, everyone riding with you, and a primitive campsite – your basecamp for the weekend. You’ll get immediate access to our hand-curated Class IV road maps, all pre-run and continuously updated with obstacle notes, difficulty ratings, and trusted waypoints so you can explore with confidence.
Plus, you’ll be able to register for our other, intentionally-small close-knit events throughout the year like the Northern and Southern Excursions, Class IV cook-off and more!

We get a lot of questions about vehicle capabilities and often newcomers are intimidated by the unknowns. The Pilgrimage has routes for everyone of any skill level and vehicle capability level with hand-curated routes that will lead you on your own unique adventure suited to your strengths.
