I was lucky to win my permit during online lottery for my hike in April 2012 - what a nice present I got on Jan 1st! We hiked the Wave on April 3rd 2012.

The experience of getting there, the clear blue skies in combination with some snow on the mountains and then the... More

The rangers are very, very helpful and friendly and despite being unsuccessful, we were directed down to Wire Pass for a walk through the slot canyons there and they were... More

We have made four trips now to the Southwest and have done the Lake Powell - Coloardo Float Trip - all the other hikes - but was hesitant to try this one as we thought it might be too difficult - it was just fine - just bring water and watch your steps when you walk - like someone said... More
