The Wave Arizona is one of the most famous rock formations in the Southwest, and you need a permit to see it. I entered the lottery twice and won both times. Here you’ll find my guides to The Wave permit, the hike itself, and what to expect on the trail. Not far away near Page, Horseshoe Bend is another classic northern Arizona stop. I visited about ten years ago, and a lot has changed since then. Together, The Wave and the Page area make a great road trip leg between southern Utah and the Grand Canyon. All guides are based on my own trips, with honest tips and no hype.
