Join us at Hike Expo Colorado 2026!

Fresh Gear, New Tech: Don’t Miss What’s Next in Hiking

We’re lacing up our boots for something new and exciting! The Rocky Mountain Conservancy is joining the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education, the Blue River Watershed Group, and Clean Trails for Hike Expo Colorado 2026—and we’d love for you to come along.

What’s Hike Expo Colorado?

Think of it as a big celebration of everything hiking. Hike Expo Colorado is the first stop on a national tour and the largest hiking-focused event in the country. This expo brings together hikers, conservation organizations, outdoor brands, and retailers all under one (very large) roof at the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Denver on May 15–16, 2026. You can pre-register for free admission through December 31, 2025, at hikeexpocolorado.com/tickets.

This isn’t your typical trade show—it’s part gear showcase, part community gathering, and all about connecting people who love the trail. You’ll get to:

Try out the newest hiking gear and gadgets before anyone else.

Meet brands, outfitters, and nonprofits making a difference in the outdoors.

Join workshops, talks, and fun interactive hiking activities.

And of course—stop by the Rocky Mountain Conservancy booth!

Why Rocky Mountain Conservancy will be There
