The ultimate adventure guide
The Fire Wave awaits you at the end of this short hike.
The trailhead is across the road from parking lot number three.
The entire trail is well-marked with 4-foot sticks.
The views on the way to the wave just get better and better.
The last part of the trails is across rocks; just hop from one trail marker to the next
The colors of the surrounding rock are varied and beautiful.
150-million-year-old sand dunes hardened into rock and were then eroded by weather.
For photography, mid-morning and mid-afternoon offer the best light.
The variety of rock formations is staggering.
Saying goodbye to the fire wave is tough.
The way out is just as easy to find as the way in.
