The engine coughs, the guide signals, and you slide onto a knobby track that unspools up into the Rila’s shoulder. Pine scent and cold mountain air press against the visor as the quad or buggy eats a switchback; small rocks rattle under suspension while the slope opens into a wind-honed ridge that dares you to push the throttle.
