Wildlife sightings on The Wave: We went Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds starting at 4:45 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. Wildlife/nature notes: No wildlife issues, mostly open desert w/ good visibility. Plan accordingly. Tips - Keep snacks accessible. - Tape hot spots before they blister. - Carry a small trash bag.
