The Wave has some interesting history. We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 6:25 AM cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines. Overall 5/5 difficulty 4/5 scenery 4/5. Some trips stay with you.
