Out the door at 6:25 AM the Wave sunrise session. 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. Soft overcast made for even exposure all day. The boring prep stuff matters. Tips - Have a turnaround time. - Start earlier than you think. - Do not trust parking to work out.
