Introduction
The Wave is located on the Paria River at the border of Utah and Arizona in the United States. It is formed by a giant sand dune, which began to deposit during the Jurassic period and covered with red sand saturated by groundwater, creating a layered sandstone structure and a three-dimensional effect. Due to the protection of natural wonders, the Bureau of Land Management of the United States allows only 20 people to enter per day, and a permit must be obtained through a lottery system, with no signs in the area. The management department issues 10 on-site and 10 online permits every day. Applications require personal information and a $5 permit fee and postage. In addition, 10 people can participate in the lottery on-site at the Utah office the day before. Those selected can pay the fee and obtain a permit, parking pass, and map for the following day's entry to The Wave. Trespassers without permits will be fined. There are still many natural wonders worth exploring in the protected area. Address The Wave, Coyote Buttes North, Kane County, Utah, United States of America
