Hiking to the Wave in the rain - House Rock Road is treacherous!
The Wave, just outside Page, Arizona, is an amazing place. It is also extremely limited when it comes to the amount of permits allowed each day. So much so that it requires a lottery. You can play the Wave lottery in two ways; in person and online. It's much more convenient to apply online since you have to be in the Page/Kanab area to do the in person. So if you don't live there, it's a hassle. So most people try the online lottery. Given the demand to go coupled with the limited amount of permits, this makes the Wave lottery extremely difficult to win. Actually, it's by far the hardest permit to get that I've ever come across. But I kept at it. $9/month, almost every month for 5 years. But I won. And when you're playing those types of odds and win, you go.
Which was a challenge in itself. The hike to the Wave is easy. The drive to the Wave CAN be easy, but if it rains or snows, House Rock Road is notoriously treacherous. It's deep ruts in clay that is extremely slick. People end up getting stuck and being towed out almost every time it receives a decent rain. If you've watched my channel, you know that I don't like off roading. But I had to go.
This is what happened.....
