Welcome to Pangaea Expeditions

At Pangaea, we specialize in expeditions and adventure travel. Based just outside of Boulder, Colorado, USA, we're located at the foot of the magestic Rocky Mountains.

Our name, Pangaea, comes from the ancient Greek words "pan" and "gaea," literally meaning "all earth". Scientists theorize that billions of years ago, before the tectonic plates shifted into their current continental form, there existed a super-continent consisting of all the known land masses. This super-continent is named "Pangaea."

Pangaea Expeditions was started in 2001 by Nathan Hindman and Tracy Donaldson. At the height of the rock crawling craze, we realized that there were no North American 4x4 companies that focused on vehicle dependant expedition preparation and logistics.

Tracy Kehaulani Hindman

Tracy was born on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. She moved to Colorado for college, where here interests changed from ocean activities to rocky mountain mania. Tracy graduated from Colorado State University with degrees in Journalism and Natural Resource Managment, Recreation and Tourism.

Tracy was introduced to four-wheeling and overlanding by Nathan. Together, they've traveled on numerous adventures to Europe, La Ruta Maya, Africa, and the Adventure Team Challenge, along with countless trips to Moab and into the Rocky Mountains. She serves as Nathan's life-long navigator in the passenger seat.
