I finally won a permit for 1/13/20 after years of trying and immediately started looking for The Wave videos and your video is one of the best to highlight other nearby attractions. Thanks.
@@RJB The condition was great and just patches of snow and ice. There is one sketchy climb just before the Wave that scared my wife but doable just go slow. Also best to have high clearance and 4x4 to get to House Rock road trailhead. I posted our video on my channel today and you can see the Wave condition was great when we visited but can change if a storm comes.
Nice and thanks for information on everything! I just got lottery and will be there by end of Oct so am planning my trip now that luckily to watch your video. Thanks again!
Way to get in during the shutdown! We missed the Alcove our first visit as well as Melody Arch, and the hamburger. Another hiker said there is a second hamburger somewhere. Heading back in May and sure hope to find them. Great video. Love all of your hikes! Many thanks!
Thank you so much for the video. I'm heading out to the wave in 2 weeks. Luckily won online lottery permits so very excited. I'm glad you put all the coordinates of the destinations these would hopefully make my trek to the wave easier. My wife and baby are joining me and we are very thrill and hope to get some nice pictures like you did.
Awesome video. Looks like a fantastic hike. I am in Vancouver Canada & we have fantastic hikes up here. I was planing to go to Red Rock in Nevada. Now it looks like I have this to consider.
Thank you Dana. I can't hike any more and you are showing me places that I wish I could have gotten to in my hiking days, but I pretty much stuck to California. Boy, did I miss a lot!
Best video for hiking The Wave I've ever seen. This is high on my bucket list. Waiting for my daughter to be older. Can not wait to start entering the lottery.
My kids want to see the Wave and backskin gultch. We plan to go to there at end of may. I need some info about permit. Is it possible to purchase online ?
Hi there. Thanks for watching. They are giving more permits now so I am not sure if it's changed. But yes in the past you can apply on-line. Have a great trip.
The video is great, as always. What I liked especially was the beginning and what you've done with the moon rising and the 'coyote sound' in the background. That must be a fair amount of work. Van Williams
Thanks for watching and the note. The gear you need is what you would normally carry in this enviroment. Be ready for hot, cold, rain and snow. You will be spending all day out there and on any day in Utah the weather can change quickly reguardless of forecast. As far as water, take what you need for a good day of walking. Everyone is different but more is better than less for sure. Have a safe trip and if you have more questions I will do my best!
Do you need to be in the location to participate for the lottery permits or can you do it online? Is there a website that we can check? thanks! beautiful detailed video by the way!
Yes you can get a permit on line, or apply for one. www.blm.gov/visit/coyote-buttes-north-the-wave. Might be some information here for you. Or you can go to the ranger station in Kanab. Thanks for watching.
There is so much to see on this trail. I think there are even more things too. I believe there is something a bit closer to where the Wave trail breaks off from the Wire Pass called Double Barrel Arch. We have yet to see the Wave, though we did go to Wire Pass.
Is there a chance to even get this permit, or the South Butte if I go in for a 3 day straight try? Seriously thinking about trying the Kanab lottery out.
It is hard to tell for sure. Try online too. Time of year has a lot to do with it too. We went up and had a plan B if we didn't get it. There is much to see besides the wave.
A loy of beginners do this hike. Depending on what you want to see it can get a bit tough. To the Wave and back is pretty straight forward. The rangers handout lots of good information with your permit. Be in shape for an 8 mile day and you should be okay. Study the maps and have all your ducks in a row. Safe travel.
Hi Sheryl. It's not bad unless it's wet or washed out after a rain. When I have been there 4 x4 has never been needed. If you are careful even high clearance isn't needed either. But that always depends on how the weather has been. It has been so dry I would think it would be fairly good right now. Ranger station is the best source for updated information. Safe tarvel.
Like your videos s lot & have just received Dana Hollister's 3 novels on the Anasazi Culture. Visited Grand Staircase NM in Sept of 2017 & love the area!
Hi Bob. Thanks for everything, very nice of you. There is a bunch to see in that neck of the woods. Have fun with it and if you have any questions please let me know. D
Hey there! I'm a 28 year old in relatively good shape from Arizona and I just found out today I'm going to the wave in July! I've lived in AZ most of my life first in Flagstaff and then Tucson so I'm no stranger to extreme heat and I've grown up hiking down the Grand Canyon several times and hiked pretty much everything there is in the state. However I applied for the lottery as a single person and didn't think I'd get it but surprise surprise... here I am, especially now that I live in London for the last few years and am flying back just for this. I'm really excited but as I'm hiking alone I'm worried about getting lost as I won't be going with a group and I don't have "open navigation" experience. Did you find it easy to get lost in or do you have any advice on staying on the right trail? About how long of a hike to the Wave is it from the parking lot? Also, I know 20 people get to go a day but it looks like your group were the only ones there at that point, did you run into any other people? I'm was hoping to start at sunrise and maybe make my way back with a group of people when they get there and decide to go later on. Thank you!
Good for you! In my opinion it is pretty straight forward. If you load a GPS with what I have you will not have trouble. The rangers give you a map with photos on where to go as well. With both you should be fine. We got an early start and passed a couple people on the way in. There was a couple at the wave when we got there. Earlier the better. Try to go up and see some of the other sites as well. The wave is only a couple or three miles. You are right about there will be others there. Don't count on them knowing more than you. Most we saw were under prepared. To the wave is not a strenuous hike. If you add what we did it will be 8 miles or so round trip. Best of luck and feel free to contact us with any other questions. My email is dana@danahollisterbooks.com. Safe travel!
@@danahollister4084 Hi there! It's been a while but I actually sent you an email yesterday, hopefully it didn't go to Spam. I was lucky enough to get permits for this July, and this time I don't want to miss out on the Alcove and Melody Arch, so asked you for some tips in my email :) Adi
Is it safe for middle school or high school kids? Is it a lot climbing? How long for you from entrance to get to the first wave? Thank you for sharing, very excellent video and tips!
I would say yes to the wave. Might take a couple hours to get to the first wave. It really depends on if your in shape and familiar with this environment. To the wave is pretty easy and straight forward. If you go up above the wave to those sites it gets steep and a little exposed here and there. One thing to keep in mind is that if you ever feel uncomfortable turn around. If I had kids I wouldn't think twice. Everyone is different. In short go to the wave and see how everybody is feeling. If all is good go a bit farther. Call it a day before everyone is pooped out, you still need to walk out. Have fun. Safe travel. Let me know if I can help. Thanks for watching.
I got the info from the internet. There is a lot of it out there. A guy did a google earth tour that was really nice. I can't find the link I found but could with some time. What I did on the video is basically it. There are not really trails to some of this. You just plug in the coordinates and make it work. Some route finding involved. Thanks for watching. D
Hi Mike. Thanks for watching. I have to videos on my channel that go into some detail about the gear. In short GoPro Hero 3+ Black, 4 Black, 6 Black. Canon G7X and Samsung Edge phone. If you have questions I will try to answer. Thanks again D
@@iyot1020 Yes for sure. The rangers can give you a bunch of options that are really good. I think it's south of the wave that is super. White Pocket too. They can fill you in.
I get to take this hike in July! So excited! If you wouldn't mind answering a couple of questions, I'd really appreciate it. First, is it necessary to have GPS? I have read suggestions to take a GPS. Are the directions and map given by BLM easy to follow? Lastly, I've read various statements of the distance to The Wave. I've read 5 miles and I've also read 3 miles. Do you know which is accurate? Thank you so much for sharing your video and experience! I very much appreciate it!
Thanks for watching. Ask away I will try to help. It is not necessary to take a GPS but it is a good insurance policy if for nothing else to track your route so you can follow it back. The map they give is pretty good with photos. It works fine. I think it is about 3 miles to the wave. 6 round trip. Just to the wave is pretty easy. However if it's hot it can be a grind for sure. If you go to other destinations it will be much longer. Congrats on the permit and let me know if I can help you out. D
What camera are you using at 6:53 please, I like the look of that footage and need a new camera ;) Great video. I am coming over from Ireland next week if Thomas Cook airlines doesn't go into administration before I fly. Looking forward now to at least trying for a Wave permit.
Excellent! Was this shot with the new GoPro? How did the image stabilization work out? And thanks for the GPS coordinates. Hopefully I'll get to use them some day.
Thank you. It was shot with GoPro 3+ Black, 4 Black, 6 Black and Canon G7X. The image stabilization worked well. It is worth the trip. Good luck with that permit!
Hi Dana, thanks for summing that up. Sounds and looks like an awesome hike. When looking at your map or track view I was wondering, what distance did you cover with that one day trip? I´m from Germany and my wife and I still have that "around the US" trip on our list. Especially because of all those unique spots in nature you can find nowhere else. The Wave seems to be another one. Maybe we can take our chance on the permit lottery in case we include Utah and the Wave. Cheers from Germany and as a sub I´m looking forward to our next vlogs. Robert.
Hi Robert. Thank you and for watching. We covered 9.5 miles. To go to the Wave and back is 6 miles round trip. If you know when you are going you can also try to get a permit on-line, that may be worth doing too. The hike is a fairly easy one to the Wave. To do the rest of the loop it is a bit of a climb but doesn't last long. If you need help in planning let me know on this trip or any others. Thanks again. D
Dana Hollister Hi Dana, thank you for the details, that sounds doable. I think we both are in good shape, so there remains room for enjoying the scenery and visiting the extra spots like you did. Thanks for your offer and I would love to get back to you when we are in preparation. Thanks Robert.
Would you recommned the GAIA gps app? Even though the map for this hike is supposed to be pretty helpful, I want to have some back up to keep on track and find our way back. I've heard far too many horror stories of people getting lost.
I do not know that much about GPS apps. I have an Inreach that has an sos and the ability to text through satellite. I would think it would be a good idea to have some back up for sure, but again not familiar with apps for that purpose. Have fun it is a great trip.

In 2018 the Wave had 168,000 applicants for 7,300 hiking permits. Will this video make that better or worse? How you treat this place on social media will affect it more than what you do while here. Some people just have to brag about the Wave permit that they got to people they don't even know on the internet. The abuse of wildlands on social media is now the greatest threat to the canyon country. There is no shortage of information about this place on the internet. Incredible about what you missed while looking right at it. This Digital Tragedy of the Commons is a menace to the rare and fragile natural historic resources of Arizona, and yet Kanab, Utah sells the Wave permits. Utah BLM now wants to sell 35,000 Wave permits. Will that make it better? Even the Navajos threw the outsiders off of their side of Marble Canyon because social media exploitation drove white entitlement past their breaking point. They are slow to draw a line in the sand, but they're right. They really didn't care much before, but the mob driven by this social media feeding frenzy has gotten stupid just in the last four years.
That was an awesome video and step by step directions to see the key places!! Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Scored a permit for tomorrow. Thanks for your excellent video.

Sorry to hear that. I will do my best to keep you entertained. Got a good one coming on Friday. Thanks for watching.
When I was there in August 2019, I stayed at Canyons as well. I found the hotel to be lovely and a nice respite after hiking in the desert all day.
Glad you enjoyed it. Great place to explore.

Can you get a future reservation.. like 8 weeks in advance or is ALL just lottery ? thx enjoy your vids
It has changed in the last year so I would check the website and see what the rules are. Safe travel.
Great tips! I won the lottery ticket on May1. I am looking forward to The Wave trip this coming August!
Thank you. Great news on getting in. Have fun. Safe travel.
Hello Dana! awesome vid! i was just wondering if we need to bring any special gear to The Wave? how much water do you suggest? ty!

Merry Christmas. You are welcome. It is a great trip with much to see. Best of luck. D

Thank you. So happy for you. Hard to come by. There is a lot to see so get an early start. Perfect time of year. Safe travel, have a great time.
How was it? I'm going to test my luck with the lottery
How is the drive out there? I watched some videos and they say it’s rough! Thoughts?

The wave
Great photos and video. What camera gear are you using?

how long is the hike?
It depends on how much you want to see. To the wave and back maybe 7 miles, that would be my guess not looking up the details.
Can you hike somewhere that area without a permit? Even if you wont go all the to the wave
@@iyot1020 Yes for sure. The rangers can give you a bunch of options that are really good. I think it's south of the wave that is super. White Pocket too. They can fill you in.

Beautiful and well done video , one day I'll be using yours as reference , meantime lets enjoy yours again !!! ... Did you need an AWD or 4x4 ?
Thank you. Most times a 4x4 is not needed but if it rains it can be kind of tough. Just watch the weather.
What a hike!! Added to my list! Did you get some fries at the hotel 🙂
It was a great one. No, didn't get fries. Probably should have. Thanks for watching. D
Do you have to get permision to go into the wave? Like from a tribe?
It is BLM. They have a lottery system. I have done a video on the process. Pretty hard to get. Best of luck.

Yes you may use the video with credit. Thank you. Dana
In 2018 the Wave had 168,000 applicants for 7,300 hiking permits. Will this video make that better or worse? How you treat this place on social media will affect it more than what you do while here. Some people just have to brag about the Wave permit that they got to people they don't even know on the internet. The abuse of wildlands on social media is now the greatest threat to the canyon country. There is no shortage of information about this place on the internet. Incredible about what you missed while looking right at it. This Digital Tragedy of the Commons is a menace to the rare and fragile natural historic resources of Arizona, and yet Kanab, Utah sells the Wave permits. Utah BLM now wants to sell 35,000 Wave permits. Will that make it better? Even the Navajos threw the outsiders off of their side of Marble Canyon because social media exploitation drove white entitlement past their breaking point. They are slow to draw a line in the sand, but they're right. They really didn't care much before, but the mob driven by this social media feeding frenzy has gotten stupid just in the last four years.
Well spoken.
