The moment you step foot into the high desert, with its ancient undulating terrain, and the scent of juniper and earth, is one that’s with you for a lifetime. The air gets crisper with a subtle, clear scent of jasmine from the high desert and the red soil. Many people believe that the arches and canyons are paintings that stand still in some distance. The real beauty of the landscape can’t be visible from a glass window or an crowded observation deck. You can only get to see the desert at its rawest by traveling over the massive dunes of sand that are frozen and define the backcountry. The remote wilderness can transform a normal excursion to view the sights into a memorable experience.
