Utah's VISTAS

WHAT better place to launch a luxury off-road vehicle than in red rock country? Where you could be scrabbling across a sand dune desert to face snow flurries in the same afternoon.

For the new Land Rover Discovery, Jaguar Land Rover created a 300-mile drive adventure that started in south-western Utah, crossed the state line into Arizona and over the beginning of the Grand Canyon, before turning back to Utah.

For anyone whose idea of the US is shopping malls and busy freeways, Utah's vast landscape with its stunningly desolate beauty will be a jaw-dropping contrast.
