What you need to know before The Wave:
We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 5:10 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 4/5.
Still thinking about this one.
