Desert of the American Southwest

Vast arid expanse bakes under daytime sun, cracked earth stretches toward a dominant mountain peak and ancient cliffside Pueblo. Boy Scouts ride horseback through the barren landscape, hooves kicking dust as Scoutmaster Havelock halts the troop and warns of labyrinthine passageways snaking miles inside the rocky settlement. Young Indiana Jones stands apart, eyes fixed on the Pueblo's mysteries; the isolating terrain sharpens curiosity against looming dangers of trespass.
