THe Wave visited by royalty



The retinue has just spent about five days camped west of Page by the Pariah River. Our camping spot was so ideal, we had a hard time leaving. Each day we did some nice hiking. The rock formations in this area cannot be beat anywhere in the world. One item on The Commanders life list was to hike at The Wave. The Wave is one of the most incredible formations anywhere, and it should qualify as a wonder of the world. In order to see it, you have to get your name drawn in a lottery, and only 20 people are allowed to visit the Wave per day. Every day you have to show up a little before 9AM and enter the lottery until you win. Luckily, we won on the second day. Near the wave is the longest slot canyon in the world- Bucksin Gulch. We hiked about twelve miles in and out of that canyon. Pictures from these hikes are above. The weather has been perfect for longer than we deserve.
