Timed it for golden hour on The Wave.
We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 6:50 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry.
Golden hour delivered.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 5/5. Scenery 5/5.
The kind of day that resets perspective.
