So Beautiful

[@bryancaluwe1920]

GREAT video. Thanks for making it and for visiting our great, big, beautiful country.

I visited the North Coyote Buttes in about 1986. It was just an after thought after being blocked by unknown depth but very long & very muddy pools in Buckskin. Finding a badly decomposed cow in one of the pools didn't help things. Back then there was a lot more rain so a lot more mud. Anyway went up the Coyote Buttes. No permits, no signs no permits. Not termed the wave...just another piece of strange rock of AZ?UT. I recall some exceptionally beautiful curved rock which may or may not have been The Wave. A lot more of an unknown adventure but also a very much a hit & miss since you had no idea what was there.

Hi. Question on the secret wave. Did you start the trail off wire pass or buckskin gulch ? If on Buckskin Gulch was it towards Lees Ferry or the other option towards road 89? Could you provide some advise as to how to find it ? Thanks.

[@leemiciadventures7309]

Hi, thanks for the question - we started off at Wire Pass (same spot like to get to the wave) - you just have to follow the dried out wash for around 30', hike through a slot canyon and get to the intersection. Then head to the left towards road 89 and watch for a broken wire fence after smth like 20' or so. On Google Maps its around the coordinates 37.031634 -111.999934 - good luck

[@KrishnenduKes]

Phenomenal video. I did not know that you can actually visit the Wave without a guide/group. How did you guys do it?

[@weiqunli4724]

Great Video and music! How long far away the secret wave from the ending of Wire Pass trail? And is there a spot you can clime up to the ground? I am planning to go there and search more info.

[@leemiciadventures7309]

Thanks :) It takes some time to get to the spot where you can climb up, like 20 minutes or so. Look for the old wire fence that you can spot from down below. Good luck ;)

[@weiqunli4724]

@@leemiciadventures7309 Thank you. Hopefully we can walk this trail and find the secrete wave. You were so lucky to win the lottery! I am planning for 3 days activity around Kanab just in case we cannot get the permits to the waves ( this could be in very high chance:) )

[@leemiciadventures7309]

@@weiqunli4724 yeah, staying in or near Kanab for a couple of days is a good idea for sure - Page, Bryce & Zion NP are close as well and worth checking out. Good luck with the lottery (you don't need the permit for Buckskin Gulch by the way) ;)

[@виктор-о7щ3л]

Great video. When were these videos taken? What month? How was the temperature?

[@leemiciadventures7309]

Hi, thank you. That was about a year ago in mid march (just before the lockdowns). It was perfect for this hike, nice and warm when the sun was out (around 60-70 degrees / 15-20 celcius). Little chilly at night. Take plenty of water and sun protection with you in any case ;)

[@thomasrascati4340]

Well done! Approximately how long was your hike from the trailhead to the Wave?

[@leemiciadventures7309]

Thanks! The hike took around 1 hour (1 way). The Wave isn't that hard to find but it's not that straight forward either. So in case you got the permit (?) we would advice you to reserve plenty of time, print out the map and learn the route in advance, especially if you want to check out the other amazing places near the wave. Enjoy!

[@evawang2399]

Do they allow drones?

[@leemiciadventures7309]

I believe in the North Coyote Buttes area no (not sure, therefore we didn't fly there), out in the wilderness you can do whatever you want, just use common sense and stick to the usual FAA drone rules ;)

[@billybrown5455]

@@leemiciadventures7309 Drones are not allowed in designated wilderness areas. Turning left after Wire Pass and out of the canyon is still part of the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area... clearly defined. Please do not fly drones here, or any wilderness area. Designated wilderness is not "do whatever you want" land... quite the opposite.
