Area knowledge dump for The Wave.
We went Main Wave route with extra time for return navigation starting at 6:00 AM wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines.
Ratings: 4 overall, 5 difficulty, 5 scenery.
Preparation is everything.
Quick notes:
- Wave at other hikers.
- Move over for faster hikers.
