The Wave at dusk hits different.
We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 6:50 AM. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.
Golden hour delivered.
Ratings: 4 overall, 4 difficulty, 5 scenery.
Days like this are why I hike.
