Lucky was able to score 6 permits for the Wave in February. We camped at the Paria Canyon Guest Ranch near the highway and several miles south of the turnoff from the highway to Wirepass TH. Temperatures in the morning were in the 30's but it warmed up nicely until the storms rolled in that afternoon.

We hiked about an 1.5 hours from the TH parking lot to the Wave. The day started out nicely with clear skies but by that afternoon the temperatures dropped and it started to snow. The winds probably hit 35+ mph at the Wave. We were reminded how the Wave was formed when the winds picked up the sand and sandblasted us. That was painful.

The Wave is amazing place. It was definitely worth doing even if it takes awhile to get permits.
