Wildflowers were peaking on The Wave. We went Main Wave route with extra time for return navigation starting at 5:10 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry. Wildlife/nature notes: One snake sighting far off trail, easy to avoid. Just show up ready.
