​Syncro Summit

​A high-country Syncro caravan through Idaho’s wildest mountain roads.

​Syncro Summit is a small-group Volkswagen Syncro overland trip through some of the most spectacular terrain in central Idaho. Over several days we’ll travel a scenic loop through the Pioneer Mountains, Copper Basin, the Pahsimeroi Valley beneath Idaho’s tallest peaks, and up to Railroad Ridge for a dark-sky camp at 10,500 ft in Central Idaho's Dark Sky Reserve at the new moon before finishing with a final night in the Sawtooth Mountains.

​This is not a formal rally or festival — just a self-reliant group of Syncros traveling together, camping on public land, exploring beautiful country, and enjoying the adventure of the road.
