Rally in the Valley 2025
Thursday, March 6 – Sunday, March 9, 2025
Usery Mountain Regional Park, Mesa, AZ
The Rally
The Rally in the Valley brought 65 Ekkos together at Usery Mountain Regional Park on the east side of the Phoenix metro. Set against the desert foothills of the Tonto National Forest, it was four days of outdoor activities, vendor showcases, and the relaxed community energy that defines Ekko gatherings. The event embraced the desert setting with hiking, biking, and plenty of time around the fire.
Schedule Highlights
Thursday opened with a Pizza & Beer welcome dinner and a fireside social. Friday’s Tacos & Tequila dinner was a crowd favorite, preceded by a Salt River Wild Horses presentation and a Security for RV Travelers talk. Saturday packed in mod tours, a Craft Beer 101 tasting, yoga, an ice cream truck, and a raffle. Group hikes and mountain bike rides ran daily, with multiple difficulty levels — though Friday’s outdoor rides were cancelled due to rain.
