You leave the neon of Las Vegas before dawn and the highway unfurls into red mesas and sky so wide it feels like another country. By late morning the tour reaches the Navajo lands around Page, Arizona — wind-sanded gullies and a river-carved rim where light finds its way into a narrow throat of stone.
