Almost two years ago, I found my photographic reward at The Wave in Arizona, near the border with Utah. I had hiked about 3.5 miles in the already hot temperatures of early June, when I finally arrived at The Wave. The sandstone formation, twisted and eroded by the forces of nature, formed a beautiful and unique landscape unseen anywhere else on earth.

I blogged about the Wave earlier here, but the above photo is only published now.

This is incredible! We are heading to this area in April and now I am completely inspired to visit The Wave….didn’t even know about it until your post. I hope we can get a permit. Thanks for sharing!

If you can’t get a permit, try the other places nearby, such as the South Coyotes Buttes. I understand they are spectacular also, and the permits are easier to get.

Thanks. My Navajo daughter lives in St. George and when I visit her I’m going to see about setting up a photography hike with a blogger that offers that kind of thing. I might not make it to the wave but at least I could go to lower Antelope canyon.

Thanks, Eric! In that area, if I am not mistaken, most days are picture perfect. I wish I could be there more often, or even just live somewhere nearby.
