The Wave is a sandstone rock formation located in Arizona, US, near its northern border with Utah. The formation is situated on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness of the Colorado Plateau. The area is administered by the Bureau of Land Management at the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument visitor center in Kanab, Utah.
The formation is well-known among hikers and photographers for its colourful, undulating forms and the difficult hike required to reach it. Due to the fragile nature of the formation and the large number of people wishing to visit it, a daily lottery system is used to dispense permits for up to 16 people and/or 4 groups two days before. Additionally, 48 people and/or 12 groups online permits for each date are available four months in advance of a planned trip. A map and information about the hike are supplied to those who have obtained permits.
