The jeep grinds onto a gravel spine, and the desert opens — a corridor of red sandstone that pulls sunlight into a low, molten glow. Walkers step from an air-conditioned vehicle into a narrow throat of the Red Canyon, where ladders and short cliff edges punctuate a 1.5‑hour route that feels both intimate and wild.
