Before dawn the van eases out of the neon of Las Vegas and the highway slides into open desert — a long ribbon of asphalt answering to the silence. By mid-morning the landscape shifts: sandstone cliffs loom, the mirror of Lake Powell cuts a bright blue through rust-colored rock, and the Navajo Nation appears as a wide, weathered place that holds Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend.
