More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You kick gravel as the jeep eases onto a dry track and the fairy chimneys rise like stone teeth against a high sky. Wind pulls at your jacket and the driver guns the throttle; the vehicle navigates rutted saddle roads while the landscape opens into valleys stained red, ochre and pale limestone. Balloons drift above, silent passengers in a different kind of flight.
