7:00 AM (it's a little nippy) This is the entrance. To maintain the pristine wilderness feeling only 20 people per day are permitted into the area. We got our permit three months early; the permits for a full month go on sale on-line and sell out in minutes. |

This is a special gate set up to prevent vehicles or horses from entering. |
 |
There is no marked trail to the special location we want to go to... The Wave. Alex has a GPS but he prefers to rely on his innate senses to navigate, he thinks he is on track. |
 |
I'm not so sure, this doesn't look like much of a trail to me. |
 |
We hike to the top of this butte to see if we can figure out which way to go. |
 |
Sam can't believe there is even a question. He keeps his eye out for these cairns. Alex thinks he sees the next one. |

Sam tells Alex the trail is farther to the right, up a sandy hill and through a shallow pass. |
