Photo notes from The Wave. We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 6:25 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines. Light was best in the first two hours. Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=4, views=4 Questions welcome.
