The Jeep crunches along a washboard track and then pauses. Above, the Milky Way spills like a slow river across a black bowl; the usual halo of city light has been left miles behind. On the west-side trails outside Sedona, guides cut the engine and the desert takes over—cactus silhouettes, scrub oaks, and the distant red profiles of buttes forming a dark frame for the sky.
