More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Before sunrise the jeep rumbles across a black plain and the air tastes like cold metal and ash. Headlights cut a path through the Sea of Sands and travelers trade the city’s light for a horizon that will erupt orange; the first rays climb the rim at Penanjakan and Mount Bromo answers in steam and shadow.
