More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into an open-top jeep as the landscape unspools: soft, honey-colored tuff carved into cones, windows, and narrow canyons. Balloons float like slow lanterns above the ridgelines at dawn; at dusk the eroded valleys throw long shadows and the wind seems to rearrange the stones. The jeep rumbles over dirt tracks, stopping at rim viewpoints where the land looks deliberately strange — lobed hills, chimneys, and carved homes that feel older than maps.
