Family-friendly notes on The Wave.
We went Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds starting at 5:35 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.
Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 5 scenery.
TLDR: Keep snacks accessible.
Grateful for this one.
