You've certainly seen pictures of the Wave. It's gorgeous.
A hiking permit is a must. If it was open for all tourists, the delicate stone would be worn away within a couple of years. Every nature photographer wants to shoot "The Wave".
The Wave is located on the Colorado Plateau, near the Utah and Arizona border.
Whenever you consider a guided day or multi-day tour Think of Dreamland Safari Tours located in Kanab. It's one of the best. Website : http://www.dreamlandtours.net/

The Wave Route

Soon the path drops into a wash. Walk down the wash (east) for .6 miles.
Hiking becomes steep for the next few hundred yards.
Most important landmark to locate the Wave : Vertical Crack or Notch.
Once you have a permit, you will get an excellent guide how to go to "The Wave".
