The first turn off the highway puts the city skyline behind you and the desert ahead — a wide field of wind-sculpted ridges that seem to shift as you approach. Engines cough, tires bite, and the 4x4 pulls up to the lip of a dune; the driver eyes a line down the slope and, with a short, deliberate pause, sends the vehicle surging. The sand responds, a living surface that throws grit against the windshield and throws your heart into the moment.
