STATISTICS AT-A-GLANCE

  • HIKE NAME: The Wave

  • DISTANCE: 6.7 miles RT (only to the Wave and not other places in Coyote Buttes North)

  • ELEVATION GAIN: 1250 feet

  • RESTROOMS: Yes, at WirePass TH

  • DOG FRIENDLY: Yes, must included in the permit

  • PERMIT: Yes, either by advanced or daily lottery. Information found at Recreation.gov

  • FEE: $6 per lottery application then if selected, $7/person or dog

  • VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS: 2wd, but House Rock Valley Road can be impassable if wet or recent rain. I would be extremely cautious with a rental.

  • TRAILHEAD COORDINATES: 37.018889, -112.025262

This is likely the most desired permit in the Southwest, if not all of the USA. Research what other places there are to see in the immediate area and if you need a tour guide -- contact Dreamland Safari or Kanab Tour Company and ask for Shelly.
