The engine hiccups, then settles, and the desert opens like a page flipped by wind. Dust lifts in golden arcs as you climb from a palm-ringed oasis onto a razor-edged track that runs the spine of the coastline. To your left, the Pacific pushes white surf against cliffs; to your right, fields of saguaro and creosote crowd the foothills.
