Done The Wave a few times now. Here is the latest. We went Main Wave route w/ extra time for return navigation starting at 4:45 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. Overall 4/5. Difficulty 3/5. Scenery 5/5. Some trips stay w/ you.
