There exists deep in the Paria Wilderness a strange and wonderful rock formation known as The Wave. Carved through the millennia The Wave's lines, patterns and colors make this one of the most striking areas anywhere in the desert southwest.

What is even more amazing is that The Wave really isn't that big. In fact, as rock formations go, it is very, very small, and would fit just a few people. One person within in makes it feel crowded, in fact. But its physical size is nothing compared to the awe you will feel when looking at it.

This small section of wave details some of the patterns and colors found within it. The gentle curves and sharp ridges form a wonderful counterpoint to each other.
