More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a Hummer before sunrise, and the city’s skyline is a shrinking memory as the vehicle noses into a field of wind-sculpted dunes. Morning light slants across ripples of orange sand; the driver throttles up and the Hummer dives—a controlled, stomach‑dropping series of climbs and slides that define dune bashing. Between runs, the dunes sit like patient giants daring you to catch them on a sandboard or on camelback.
