Fauna notes from The Wave. We went Main Wave route w/ extra time for return navigation starting at 6:25 AM. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Slickrock footing was solid where it stayed dry. Wildlife/nature notes: No wildlife issues, mostly open desert w/ good visibility. Trust your prep.
