The electric LSV hums to life as the city light fades and the red cliffs take shape ahead—wind lifting dust from the wash, sandstone layers throwing back amber light. Guests slide into bench seats and the guide points to a jagged rim where erosion carved striated faces; the truck moves deliberately, a small machine against a geologic clock.
