Surreal red rocks stand like sentinels to a forgotten time. Down below an elephant herd patrols the valley. Dust squirts up as you cycle onward.

It feels like you’re mountain biking on Mars. This must be what space feels like, seemingly inhospitable, yet bursting with features and signs of life. 

The trails continue for hundreds of miles. Out here you can create your own adventure. A local guide leads the way and mountain biking can be tailored however you like it, from one hour to one week covering different trails. 

Wherever you peddle, you can be certain there are no other mountain bikes on the trail, only the odd elephant or giraffe.
