Heat rolls off the slabs, light slides across cross-bedded fins, and carved figures peer down from boulders worn smooth by millennia. On a 4–6 hour morning or afternoon tour from Las Vegas you trade neon for Navajo sandstone, snapping photos from high shoulders of rock and pausing where 3,000-year-old petroglyphs mark human presence in this arid theater.
