Description
The Wave is the most famous landform feature in the USA next to The Grand Canyon. Here is a feature very near The Wave that has been dubbed "The Second Wave" and is often missed by hikers focusing only on its bigger brother. Beautiful late afternoon light adds to the drama of this exquisite place.
The Wave is a fantastic sandstone sculpture authored by Mother Nature. Located near Page, Arizona it is a wilderness area administrated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the authority of the United States Government. Only 20 people are allowed into The Wave every 24 hours...10 are registered via an "On-Line Lottery" while the other 10 lucky souls must attend a "Live Lottery" held in Kanab's BLM office each morning between 8:30 and 9:00 am seven days a week. I have personally been "Lucky" 3 times to have my number drawn with more than 120 people in attendance for "The Draw". This is an incredible area and one that needs regulation with so many people from all over the world in attendance to try to get into The Wave...Good luck to everyone and I hope you enjoy my images and one day travel to The Wave yourself...Cheers Bob

Another amazing shot! Were you there in the early am or the afternoon? I know you have to hike into the area, I have also heard the trail in is not that well marked.... is that true?
Bob Christopher replied:
Hi Wendy...The Wave can be shot morning until early afternoon...The Second Wave that you see here is a very late afternoon shot for certain....Give yourself enough time to hike the 6 miles out after shooting the second wave prior to darkness.... The trail isn't a big problem if you are used to desert hiking but getting a permit is difficult. Thanks for your question and your compliment on my image. I appreciate it very much...Cheers Bob
