Shooting In The Wave

The last time I hiked out to The Wave in the North Unit of Coyote Buttes, I took my sister (the tripod carrying photographer above) with me; unfortunately, I don't have any friends who are willing and able to make the exhausting hike after getting up at 4 AM, spending the entire day in the wilderness and arrive back at the car tired and hungry ... with only a flashlight to show the way. The ten permits per day which allow entry into this area must be obtained seven months in advance on the internet and are gone within minutes of their becoming available. So, some persistence and luck are involved if you really want to experience this area, but the feeling you'll have upon walking into this amazing spot makes it all worthwhile.
