Photo notes from The Wave.
We went Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds 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.
Soft overcast made for even exposure all day.
Would do again in a heartbeat.
