The
Coyote Buttes, in a remote region on the Arizona-Utah border, was considered
inaccessible and almost unknown. It has become easier to explore the desert
back country and venture into locations that were once too hazardous and too
distant. These places are protected by acts of Congress as wilderness areas, to
keep them from being overrun and exploited. The area has dinosaur track way in
this region densely packed more than 1,000 footprints roughly 200 million years
ago.
The BLM
(Bureau of Land Management) uses a quota system and granted limited numbers of
permits to keep visitors to a minimum in brittle areas like the Coyote Buttes.
The BLM website has maps of the Coyote Buttes area, showing hiking advice and
offers permits to anyone. Because of the most beautiful places like “The Wave,”
in the North Unit of the Coyote Buttes, are national treasures.
With such
exclusive examples of geology, they should be kept open and reachable to those
able to make the spirited hike into this remote region. They want to preserve
these subtle and delicate lands and don’t want to be locked out. Photographers
should be able to enjoy and photograph these remote and protected parts of
America. The Wave can be really challenging to locate due to the lack of an
established, marked trail.
Most of
the North Unit of Coyote Buttes lies at an elevation of five-thousand feet.
Because the winter snows on the Slick rock can hide the trail and make it
slicker. A light dusting of snow on the tops of the formations can make a
fantasy land for photographers. Anyone entering the region in mid-winter must
be prepared for cold weather.
When you
scroll through the BLM Website and find spaces still available for hiking
permits during Dec, Jan, and Feb, but make sure that you may be lucky and get a
permit for a cool, clear, bright day or you may arrive during a
blizzard. Control Tower and East Tepees are one of the more prominent
and interesting rock features in this region.
It is
also listed later with GPS coordinates, as it is both interesting, and
very good central locator for the East Tepee group. In the early morning
or late afternoon, the wave becomes draped in shadows that hide many of its
rainbow colors and curves. The region covered by the wave is not
large, but it offers delightful photographic possibilities. Source:
