Hike To The Wave, Arizona

Probably the most photographed landscape in Southwestern America, the Wave is a unique geological landform found in the Coyote Buttes ravine in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona.

Characterized by a dazzling sandstone rock with a surreal undulating appearance, the Wave looks like a scene from another planet. The striped Navajo Sandstone dates back 190 million years ago in the Jurassic Period, formed by slow erosion of wind and rain.
