I believe that to go to see The Wave requires entering a lottery. Very limited positions available. A friend tried for 8 years before getting accepted.

How do you enter the lottery for The Wave?

Taken from Wikipedia

Access policy

The Wave is located within the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. This wilderness is administered by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), part of the United States Department of the Interior. A day-use permit from BLM is required to visit The Wave.
BLM limits access to the North Coyote Buttes Wilderness Area to just 20 permits per day. Ten of the permits are available in advance by an on-line lottery conducted four months before the month for which the permit is sought. The remaining ten permits are made available by lottery the day before one's intended hike. Year-round the lottery is held at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Visitor Center in Kanab, Utah. The lottery for the walk-in permits takes place at 9:00 in the morning. Spring and autumn are the most popular times of year to visit, but the popularity of The Wave is such that the chances of obtaining a permit by either advance lottery or the day-before lottery are much less than 50% from March through November.

Oh wow is that beautiful. I'd love to see that but I'd probably "drown" in a wave because of my stupid leg. Have fun!!
