No Experience Required

The engine thumps like a heartbeat as the UTV leans into a slab of Navajo sandstone. Red dust sprays from the tires, catching the sunlight that pours over the West Rim, and the valley below seems to tilt as the trail angles upward. Guides from Mad Moose Rentals clip helmets on and call course lines; you grip the wheel and listen for the terrain to tell you where to push and where to crawl.
