Before you commit to The Wave, read this. We went Main Wave route with extra time for return navigation starting at 4:45 AM. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry. Key considerations: Carry a small trash bag. The kind of day that resets perspective.
