It is a sandstone rock formation situated in the United States of America near the Arizona Utah border on the slopes of the Coyote Buttles, on the Colorado plateau in the Praia Canyon Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Among hikers and photographers it is popular for it’s rugged, trackless, colorful, undulating forms hike required to reach it.

It consists of intersecting U shaped that have been
consumed into Navajo Sandstone of Jurassic age . It has two big
troughs which merges this rock formation are 118 feet long by
62 feet wide and 7 feet wide by 52 feet long. Startlingly it’s
infrequent run off destroyed along joints with the Navajo sandstone.
The drainage basin which fed rainwater to these dip, shrank to
the point became insufficient to contribute the cutting of these
dip. For their it results the trough are almost eroded by wind
as done by the orientation of erosional steps and risers cut into
the sand stone along their steep walls. Their risers and
erosional steps and risers are adjusted relative to the predominant
direction of the wind and currently naturally funneled into and
through these troughs.

The wave
If we talk about its artistic significance it is an
ideal time to photograph around mid day when there is no shadows in
the center although shadows can also make early morning
and late afternoon photos. Numbers of pools form which contain
hundred of fairy shrimp and tadpoles. For several days these pools
can be present. It is also called the second wave which has little
colors but it still of interest to most photographers and visitors.

The trail to The Wave begins at the Wire Pass Trail head, almost about 13.4 km south of US 89 along House Rock Valley Road, a dirt road
about 35.4 miles west of Page, Arizona or 38.6 miles (62.1 km) east of Kanab, Utah, that is accessible to most vehicles
in good weather. During and after a storm the road may be impassable,
even with a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Wire Pass Trail-head includes a
wide parking lot with restrooms, but no water. This is a longer access
route over dirt road than that from the Utah side.
