Dust rises as a convoy of red jeeps slips off the asphalt and into the scrubby slopes above Fethiye. Wind pushes at open windows, the river below dares you closer, and the Taurus range looms with sudden cliffs and cool shadow. Over seven hours the route stitches together cold canyon water, a jungle-like path to a waterfall, and a riverside lunch punctuated by laughter and mud.
