How to get to The Wave, Arizona

How to get to The Wave in Paria Canyon, Coyote Buttes Wilderness North, Arizona: Apply for permits online, three months prior. Tell your best friend that we won permits and laugh as she screams with excitement and the fellow diner diners think she's just been proposed to. Round up the girls and head east, first stop Vegas. Skateboard and go bouldering at Red Rock Canyon then drive the 4.5 hrs to Page, AZ. Visit Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon and of course The Wave. Prepare for the epic hike and get to The Wave trailhead at sunrise. Hike from Utah to Arizona, a few miles past cone shaped, whip cream dallop shaped, mushroom shaped, white, orange, red buttes, expansive red mountains, along animal tracks, and through a lot of sand. The trail is hard to stay on so veer right, veer left, go right, then straight, go over the saddle past a cone butte past several more, go right, look up, look down, go past another cone shaped mountain, fill your boots with sand, climb a mountain, round a corner, and then you'll be there and then turn around, and then politely ask the sun god to light up the striped rocks and then smile. Then enjoy the view, enjoy life, thank mother nature and be grateful for the great outdoors and your awesome friends. Don't forget Buckskin Gulch before heading out of the wilderness for a much needed healthy (fried) dinner. ​
