Plant observations along The Wave:
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. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often.
Wildlife/nature notes: One snake sighting far off trail, easy to avoid.
Trust your prep.
