The morning sun slants across a field of honey-colored rock, and the fairy chimneys—the region's improbably balanced columns—rise like weathered sculptures daring you to get closer. The Red Tour threads through valleys shaped by volcanic tuff and time, moving from crowd-pleasing panoramas to intimate carved churches, stopping for pottery in Avanos where hands still turn clay the same way they did a thousand years ago.
