| The Wave is a beautiful location in a small section of Coyote Buttes that is becoming increasingly popular and famous for its fascinating rock formations, rich in color and texture. The Wave derives its name from the swirling and wavy formations that sometimes look like high waves that build for surfers just off many ocean beaches. Hiking within Coyote Buttes to The Wave is controlled and highly restricted by the Bureau of Land Management. Permits are required but sell out months in advance. To purchase a permit or check availability, go to the BLM website at: Coyote Buttes permits. Larger versions of these photos can be viewed by using a mouse rollover or by using the Slideshow below.

 The Wave #0360 This is The Wave in Coyote Buttes. |
 Swirling Stone Coyote Buttes is a bit like a fascinating maze of sandstone hills, mounds, and fins. |
 Streaks in Stone There are no trails in this part of Coyote Buttes. But if you took a beeline from the nearest parking area directly to The Wave, you'd hike about 3 to 3.5 miles one way. If you hiked to The Wave in this fashion you'd certainly see a lot of amazing scenery. But you'd miss a lot, too. This is an area that deserves being explored. |
 The Wave #0361 These are the waves of stone known as The Wave in Coyote Buttes. |
 Waves of Stone The Wave is both a photographer's dream and nightmare. The range of textures, colors, and shapes of sandstone here is phenomenal. Every camera angle seems worthy of a photograph. Getting correct photographic white balance to produce a photo that accurately displays the reality of The Wave is a challenge. Just take a look at the many photographs posted on websites and you'll see a range of colors spanning the gamut from bland to gawdy, from orange to red to yellow - and these for the same locations! |
 The Wave #0362 The Wave is relatively remote, located about half way between Kanab, UT and Page, AZ about 8 miles south of Highway 89. |
 The Wave #0366 The Wave was obviously named because of the shape of these formations. |
 The Wave #0367 The texture of the sandstone here is as fascinating as the overall shapes of the formations. |
 The Wave #0368 Not only are the shapes and textures of sandstone here amazing, but the colors are intense. |
 The Wave #0370 Once inside these formations, another amazing sight can be seen around every wave of stone. |
 The Wave #0378 The Wave is now showing up in video clips used in Utah tourism advertising. |
