The Wave with the kids. We went Wire Pass route with waypoint checks at major slickrock turns starting at 5:10 AM. Cold start turned into warm sun by mid-morning. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines. Days like this are why I hike. Quick notes: - Carry a small trash bag. - Study the route at home.
