The engine rattles, the road narrows, and the Sequoia climbs—dust sprays the windows as narrow spines of rock rise on either side. By the time the vehicle reaches the Sayh Plateau, pale scree spreads like a quiet desert sea and the wind seems to push you forward toward the ridge.

Secure loose gear
Off-road stretches are bumpy—store cameras and phones in padded bags and close windows when driving through dust.
Layer for wind and sun
Temperatures shift quickly at altitude; a light windproof jacket and a wide-brim hat will keep you comfortable.
Hydrate and pace snacks
Bring a reusable bottle to refill and eat small snacks before short walks—the desert air dehydrates faster than you expect.

If you’re prone to car sickness, take medication before the ride and sit toward the middle of the vehicle for a steadier feel.
