The Wave in Utah
So not too long ago, we found out that we won the lottery….not the mega millions lottery, but we won the lottery to obtain permits to enter Coyote Buttes North, where The Wave is located. Back in December of 2020, we attempted to get permits in person, but we came out empty handed. How it works is there are a maximum of 64 people allowed into Coyote Buttes North every day. 16 permits are given out in person through a lottery drawing at the Kanab Center Gymnasium the day before the permits are valid. The other 48 permits are giving out through an online lottery drawing. To apply online go to recreation.gov and type in Coyote Buttes North (The Wave) in the search bar. About four months from the date that you apply online is most likely the time frame you will get a permit (it will state the trip dates on the application), if you are fortunate enough to get selected. Our permits are for later this month and we can’t wait! Has anyone hiked the Wave? Any pointers or things to look out for? Things not to miss? Check out our The Wave page for our hike details and experience!
