Experienced Bronco Off-Rodeo on July 6th. What an awesome experience! Really helped to learn what the Bronco is capable of off-road. Goldie was our guide and did an awesome job spotting us through all the terrain. Here's a quick video of what to expect.

Looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing your off-roading experience with us, Bill!

I stayed at the gunstock inn which is pretty close to the offroadeo location. Price wasn't bad but it was also 2 years ago. Check out the first page for places to go and eat.

We stayed at the Townplace suites. Reasonable prices and not too far away.

Heading up for the offroadeo on october 3rd anyone on here gonna be there? Also any recommendations on things to see or places to eat? Thanks in advance


Update.
The off-roadeo was way more intense than expected, I was thinking some dirt roads through the woods with some rocks and mud boy I was way off. Some parts of the trails weren't that bad but there were some pretty crazy places. We had hank and ed teaching us at the beginning and then broke into two groups. They are both great guys with alot of great info and also made the day quite comical at times. Our group of 8 ended up going with hank he's a super nice guy and easy to get along with. They taught the groups to offroad without using the all the technology the bronco has which was great imo because I thought we would be twisting the goat dial all day and having the lockers locked all day. We did spend 90 percent of the day in 4 lo and the bronco did fantastic even without the differentials locked. We did use the offroad trail control a few times and I had no idea it would work that good especially at the times hank wanted us to it. I'm talking going down an absolutely crazy downhill drop off lol. The picture when the wheel was off the ground is where we all stopped to put on the trail control. The view from the top of the mountain was absolutely breathtaking there is no picture that will do it justice. After the day on the trails we went back to the basecamp for dinner which was very good. Overall a great experience and well worth the trip even my wife enjoyed it. Also fun fact when a bronco is strictly trail riding you only get about 55 miles on a half tank of fuel.

Just realized that this is from 2022. I am looking at going on October 5, 2024 I bought my Big Bend last month and have never been off road before. Thanks for sharing your experience ! I am in PA as well, let me know if you are going this year.

Not going this year, I would like to try a different location though. You'll learn some good info on techniques and terminology while off roading. You'll enjoy the experience and get to meet new people. My wife and I had a great time.

We did the same in August ‘23. Worked out well for us.

We stayed last fall at the Belknap Point Inn in the upper house/upper rooms (can't remember which they call it). It's pretty no-frills, but it was super quiet, clean, affordable, and all the rooms had private balconies facing lake winnipesaukee. Plus it was only about 10 minutes from the off-roadeo.

I'm headed there next weekend, Aug 23rd, opting to stay at the campground to test my loadout. See ya'll there if anyone else happens to be going then!

Also from PA and just went last Friday. It was a great time. Met a lot of good people there and even if you know what you're doing off road, it's still a great experience. My wife and I stayed at Steele Hill resorts, highly don't recommend them.

Good time at NH Off-rodeo yesterday - gorgeous weather, a fun group of guests, great guides (Jordan & Goldie), excellent/challenging trail system, lunch at the top of the chairlift at Gunstock Mountain, nice dinner/campfire (most folks stayed). I was tail gunner in my group, so most of my pics are from the back of the line.

A few points to note:
- There were a selection of both 2-doors and 4-doors. Most were Badlands, BD or WT
- They had both bug spray and sunscreen if needed. Bugs weren't too bad with cooler morning temps and a breeze
- Snacks provided that you could take with you during the day
- Trails are pure NH - mud, granite slabs, lots of rocks/roots, dense forest. I am lucky enough to live 40 minutes from Gunstock, so it felt like home

Really enjoyed it

Excellent feedback, haven’t booked a date yet but it’s the closest one to me (6hrs/620km or so from Saint John NB to Guilford NH). Since it’s the closest it’s the obvious choice. I get preferred rates from Marriott or Hilton brands plus loyalty points & there seems like good options close or within short distance. Hoping to go this fall.

Leaves starting to change yet? I'm going the 4th and hoping to see some color.
