On Black The Wave is a spectacular sandstone formation on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes in the beautiful and rugged Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, … just south of the Utah-Arizona border about halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona. This incredible formation can be reached by hiking approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) across rugged, trailless landscape, making the round-trip to and from The Wave a nearly 6-mile (9.7-kilometer) hike that climbs about 350 feet (107 meters) in altitude [sic]. The area can be really hot in summer (100 F +), so it is best to start the hike early. --from Wiki Well, my friend and I hiked this late, staying over sunset in The Wave. It is an incredibly beautiful area, and I'd love to get back there. Hiking back through the darkness was pretty exhilarating, but I could see it being nearly impossible and very stressful without a GPS. Carins are few and far between, and nearly impossible to locate at night, even with flashlights. Fortunately, there are a couple washes that cross at pretty identifiable areas on the trail; identifiable enough where we could see by a crescent moon and be okay. paulomernik.com
