The Wave, Arizona

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.

 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.
