With REI Out, What’s Next for Guided Outdoor Adventures?
On January 8th, 2025, REI announced its decision to step away from the Experiences business, effective immediately. This sudden move has left countless adventurers scrambling, as many previously booked trips for 2025 were canceled without notice. For 40 years, REI had been synonymous with expertly crafted adventures, but their trips rarely ventured into true overlanding—a style of adventure that combines off-road travel, remote camping, and self-reliance.
That’s where Titus Adventures truly shines.
We specialize in guided overland trips—immersive journeys that let you explore off-the-beaten-path destinations in powerful, luxurious, self-sufficient vehicles equipped for adventure. Whether it’s navigating remote mountain trails or camping under the vast expanse of Colorado skies, our overland trips bring you closer to the wild beauty of nature. With REI stepping back, we’re stepping up to offer another year of unforgettable guided adventures.
ADVENTURE MEETS LUXURY

At Titus Adventures, our guides bring a wealth of experience, training, and passion for the outdoors. Whether you’re navigating challenging 4x4 trails in Gunnison or soaking in the serenity of a remote campsite, our guides ensure every aspect of your journey is safe, enriching, and unforgettable. They’re not just leaders—they’re storytellers, problem-solvers, and educators, committed to making your adventure both seamless and deeply rewarding. From teaching Leave No Trace principles to sharing insider knowledge about the wilderness, their expertise enhances every moment.

What is Overlanding?
Overlanding is more than just camping—it’s a self-reliant, off-road journey that emphasizes exploration, adventure, and connection to the natural world. At Titus Adventures, we elevate this experience with expert guidance, luxury touches like gourmet meals, and top-of-the-line equipment. Our overland vehicles are more than transportation—they’re your gateway to discovery, offering everything you need for a seamless and inspiring journey.
Guided Overland Trip Options
At Titus Adventures, we offer three distinct ways to experience overlanding:
Fully Guided Group Camping (Signature Colorado-Style Camping Safari): A four-day overland experience in Gunnison that immerses you in Colorado’s rugged landscapes. Learn 4x4 driving techniques, set up camp in remote wilderness areas, and enjoy expertly prepared gourmet meals under the stars.
Hybrid Adventures: Designed for semi-independent adventurers, this option provides a TAC overland vehicle, camping gear, and a curated itinerary, letting you take charge while still benefiting from our expertise.
Custom Guided Trips: Perfect for adventurers with specific destinations or experiences in mind. Work with our team to create a fully tailored overland adventure for your group.
What’s Included in Every Overland Adventure
Our trips include everything you need for a worry-free adventure:

Expert guides with training in wilderness medicine, 4x4 driving, and Leave No Trace principles.
Gourmet meals, snacks, and drinks, including evening cocktails and campfire-ready coffee.
