At Skyblue Overland, we’re always testing gear to take your adventures to the next level. That includes everything from the best new adventure gear like a trailer hitch mounted adventure grill, gear to keep you organized on road trips, or the most comfortable rooftop tents. We’re always looking out for new gear to make your adventures fun and enjoyable.
Skyblue Overland was founded to inspire explorers and adventurers, empower lives and build community. We enjoy our connection with the outdoors and love beautiful, functional products infused with mountain soul. We draw inspiration from our everyday immersion in life here in mountain towns like Boulder, Crested Butte, and Durango, Colorado: we spend our days on local trails and scrambling up nearby summits. We’ve discovered what fuels our fire most: an adventurous life that inspires us to create and share, striving to capture the beauty of the natural world. From remote 4WD overlanding expeditions to high-elevation hikes and trail runs, running marathons, mountain bike tours, and backpacking trips.
Here are our favorite picks for your fall adventures.

As we all have experienced, many trails don’t have cell service, with the ability to access saved maps from anywhere and locate yourself in the wild you won’t have to worry about fear of getting lost again. With countless other features to enhance your hiking experience, you won’t want to go on your next hike without OnX!
