Wave

Coyote Buttes North, commonly known as The Wave, is a world-renowned geological formation located within the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Arizona. Access to The Wave is highly regulated to protect its delicate sandstone formations, and visitors must obtain a permit through an advanced or daily lottery system. The area is famous for its vibrant, undulating rock patterns and is a premier destination for hiking, photography, and nature enthusiasts. Permits can be applied for online via recreation.gov, with up-to-date information on road conditions, regulations, and application processes provided by the Bureau of Land Management. Due to its popularity and limited access, planning well in advance is recommended for those hoping to experience The Wave.
