Wayfarer Weekends combine our years of road trip experience with your love of curiosity to explore new areas off the beaten path. These events bring Wayfarians together to travel lesser known regions, swap stories, learn about the environment, and enjoy all the great outdoors has to offer.

You asked for more weekends, so we doubled down. In 2027, we’re hosting 10 Wayfarer Weekends across eight states. Dust off that passport, too, because we’re crossing the border into British Columbia for our first international campout.

And to our adrenaline seekers, we see you. This year, we’re parking you right in the thick of the action with our new Adventure Series. Think powder days, granite walls, and flowy singletrack, all guided by a seasoned enthusiast. These weekends are for everyone, from seasoned pros to folks who just want to dip their toes in.

Every weekend has its own flavor, but the recipe stays the same with a few planned activities to bring everyone together, plenty of free time to roam, tour vans, and at least one good night around the campfire.

These events are just for Wayfarians, so you do need to own a Wayfarer Vans conversion. New or used, this year’s model or a few years in, it doesn’t matter to us. If you’re in a Wayfarer, you’re part of the crew.

Save the dates: tickets go live 12 weeks ahead of each event.

Durango, Colorado | February 17–20

Adventure Series : Skiing

When you picture a Colorado ski trip, you might think of Vail or Aspen. Instead, we’re heading to Colorado’s southwest corner to the San Juan Mountains. So fill up the propane and join us for a winter camping trip, with time on the slopes at Purgatory. Not a skier or snowboarder? Snowshoe through the woods, ride the inferno mountain coaster, soak in the hot springs or ride the historic narrow-gauge train through a snowy canyon. Mesa Verde National Park is about an hour west if you’d like to add a day of exploring the ancient cliff dwellings to your weekend. 

Keep an eye out – tickets go live December 1st for Durango!

***We’re keeping a close eye on the weather and recent flooding in the area, and if conditions call for it, we’ll pivot to a Plan B and let you know well ahead of time***

Sedona, Arizona | March 23–27

Sedona is one of those places that stops you in your tracks. We’ll base ourselves in the Verde Valley and spend our days among the red rock formations, on hikes that pass petroglyphs, sweeping views and a vortex or two. We’ll also visit Tuzigoot National Monument, a hilltop pueblo built by the Sinagua people nearly a thousand years ago, and stop at other heritage sites in the valley where their history is still carved into the stone. 

Joshua Tree, California | April 13–17

Adventure Series : Climbing

Grab the chalk bag and lace up your hiking boots, because we’re headed to the desert. Where the Mojave and Colorado deserts overlap, Joshua Tree’s twisting trees and golden granite make it one of the best places in the country to climb. We’ll spend our days bouldering and climbing, and if you’re new to it, there’s plenty to explore at ground level, from Skull Rock to Jumbo Rocks. Off the rocks, check out the quirky art around town, then catch the Milky Way under some of the darkest skies in Southern California.

Bentonville, Arkansas | May 12-16

Adventure Series : Biking

Arkansas gets overlooked for adventure, but the Ozarks in the state’s northwest corner have quietly become one of the top riding destinations in the country. Bentonville calls itself the mountain biking capital of the world, and yes, it’s also the home of Walmart. Hit singletrack for every age and skill level, from mellow cruisers to technical descents, or cruise the paved greenways that link the trails right into downtown. Off the bike, wander the art and walking trails, grab a bite on the downtown square, and explore the creeks and bluffs that make this corner of the state so beautiful. 

Bandon, Oregon | June 9–12

Bandon is a small town on the southern Oregon coast where you plan your day around the tides. We’ll stroll the sand at Face Rock Beach and explore tide pools full of sea stars bigger than your face. At low tide, you can wander through the sea caves as the receding water opens up sandy passages between the rocks. In between, hunt for sea glass and driftwood or visit a nearby lighthouse, and save room for local cheese and ice cream back in town.

Fernie, British Columbia | July 13–17

Pack your passport, and while you’re at it, throw in the bike and the fishing poles. Just north of Montana, Fernie sits in a valley of the Canadian Rockies with jagged peaks on every side. Ride a network of singletrack that winds through the forest, or cast a line in the Elk River right from town. Lace up your hiking boots for trails that lead to waterfalls, ancient cottonwood groves, and fossil beds millions of years old. It’s all the beauty of the Canadian Rockies with a fraction of the crowds.

Ouray, Colorado | August 18–21
Ladies Only Weekend

Ouray earned its nickname as the Switzerland of America, and this all-ladies weekend, hosted by our ‘Shop Mom’, Suzi, (aka Ian’s mom), is your chance to see why. Tucked into a box canyon in the San Juan Mountains, the town has peaks on three sides, trails heading out in every direction, and hot springs right in town. Buckle up for the Million Dollar Highway to Silverton, where waterfalls and overlooks will have you pulling over to enjoy the view every few miles. Around the campfire, we’ll swap stories and tips on traveling and camping solo, whether you’ve been rolling on your own for years or are just starting to build that confidence. 

Tannersville, New York | September 29–October 2

It’s leaf peepin’ season, and just a few hours north of New York City, the Catskills are putting on a show. High in these mountains, Tannersville is known as the “Painted Village in the Sky,” for its colorful storefronts and the hillsides that surround it each fall. We’ll wander mountaintop arboretums, take in local history, and ride a ski lift up for a bird’s-eye view of the changing leaves. Lace up your boots for several waterfall hikes nearby, including Kaaterskill Falls, one of the tallest in the state.

Brevard, North Carolina | October 20–23

The ’90s band TLC may have warned against it, but chasing waterfalls is exactly what we’ll be doing. Brevard sits in the Land of Waterfalls, with more than 250 in the surrounding county. We’ll explore Pisgah National Forest, visit the Cradle of Forestry (the birthplace of forestry in America), and catch the Blue Ridge Parkway at peak fall color. Take a stroll through historic downtown, where you might spot one of the rare white squirrels the town is known for.

Valley of Fire, Nevada | November 10–13

Nevada recreation gets overlooked, since most people only think of the Las Vegas Strip. But an hour northeast of the city, the state’s oldest park is a completely different world. We’ll hike to Elephant Rock and the Fire Wave, and see ancient petroglyphs at Atlatl Rock, named for the hunting tool carved into its walls. The red sandstone glows at sunrise and sunset, so have your camera ready. Lake Mead is just down the road, an easy add-on coming or going from the park.
