More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll out of an air‑conditioned lounge and into an ocean of sand; the engine of a Can‑Am Maverick X3 Turbo rumbles beneath you and the dunes seem to lean in, daring you to climb. The sun cuts low in the sky or hangs high depending on your slot, and the ride alternates between soft, wind‑shaped crests and hard-packed sinuous ridgelines that send the buggy bounding forward.
