NORA’s Overland Excursions are educational, informative and fun! Trips avoid highways in favor of scenic back roads, dirt roads, trails and points of interest including covered bridges and charming small towns where supplies can be replenished or where you may choose a restaurant meal to be enjoyed. Each night includes camping at campgrounds or private venues with comfort stations. Participants are welcome to make their own lodging arrangements if they prefer, registered participants will be given the exact location for each overnight.

This trip is guided by NORA staff and our friends at Exploring New Hampshire.  Two campgrounds have been reserved (VT and NH) for the overnights. The terrain includes easier (green rated) trails each day and is open to stock or modified vehicles with 4-LOW and front/rear recovery points, and select AWD vehicles with front/rear recovery points. 

New to off-road driving? Consider a NORA public or private training class before your trip.
