Flora notes from The Wave.
We went Classic out-and-back from Wire Pass before heat builds starting at 6:50 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow with track lines.
Wildlife/nature notes: One snake sighting far off trail, easy to avoid.
The kind of day that resets perspective.
