Family-friendly notes on The Wave. We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 5:35 AM. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. Overall 4/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 5/5. Short version: Know the signs of altitude. Hope this helps.
