Here is the deal with The Wave.
We went Main Wave route with extra time for return navigation starting at 6:50 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 4/5.
Days like this are why I hike.
Quick notes:
- Carry a small trash bag.
- Know the bail-out options.
- Keep snacks accessible.
- Study the route at home.
- Count your miles.
