The Wave with the kids. We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 4:45 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Route markers lined up well, still worth checking maps often. Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 4 scenery. Already planning the next one.
