More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine settles into a steady thrum as the desert opens and the first ridge of sand rises like a challenge. You sit low in a Polaris RZR XP4, sunlight washing the cockpit, wind sketching patterns on the dune faces while your guide points the line through a series of rolling ascents and quick descents. The ride moves fast enough to excite and slow enough to take in the wide, ochre horizon.
