Been doing The Wave for years this time: We went Wire Pass route w/ waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 6:50 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow w/ track lines. Overall 4/5. Difficulty 5/5. Scenery 4/5. Some trips stay w/ you.
