Hiking the Wave at North Coyote Buttes, AZ
After two attempts, I finally won the lottery permit to hike The Wave at North Coyote Buttes, Arizona. One more place that it would be out of my bucket list out of many. Thousands of people apply for the permit every year from all over the world, a very hard to get permit. You can either apply in person at the Bureau of Land Management located in Kanab, Utah, or you can do it at their site. Only 20 permits allowed per day, 10 given in person and 10 through the online lottery. You can apply for up to six people at a time, but you get better chances if you are a smaller group; in my case, just me. You pay $5 to apply and if you are one of the lucky ones who get it, you will pay $7 for the permit. During the application you can choose three dates that you would like to hike the area, it gives you more chances to win, but you need to do it four months ahead of time. The winners of the lottery would be drawn and each he will get a congratulating email.
