Overland Trail Guides Our goal at Overland Trail Guides is to introduce travelers to new adventures, both near and far.

We've taken the grunt work out of finding new routes by creating an extensive library of offroad adventures across the entire North American continent.

It all started here back in 1996.

The Mendocino National Forest was the first segment of the California Backcountry Discovery Trail, sparking a movement in vehicle-assisted adventure travel. It set the stage for additional routes through Six Rivers, Shasta-Trinity, Plumas, Lassen, Modoc, and Angeles National Forests in the years that followed.

Did you know that the Klamath Mountains, stretching across Northern California and Southern Oregon, boast the highest concentration of Wild & Scenic Rivers outside of Alaska? Among them, the Smith River stands out as a true gem, with its crystal-clear emerald waters winding through rugged canyons and ancient forests.

And if you haven’t been to the Forks of Smith yet, consider this your sign—it may just be one of our favorite spots to visit in the North State.
