just a FYI

Nice! Heading back again so soon!

I hope to snag some in Oct since my friend from down under will be up and that is one of the places he wants to hit very badly.

I was tempted to grab one for me. But I decided against it because it would be totally out of my planned route.

[jdgibney]

yeah, I'm not even sure I'll be able to go (and if not, I'll send 'em to someone from here like I did in March), but it'd be nice to have more daylight (even if its extremely hot daylight ;) ) to explore the area. If I do make it out, I'll see if I can get down to CBS as well and check that out...

Have you ever been to The Wave in July?!?

No Thanks!

I guess it will be freakin' hot and no fun.
I went once in beginning of June and once in mid December. And if I could choose I would always prefer December. Even with the snow it was very pleasant.
That's another reason I haven't grabbed a permit.

Yikes, if it'll be THAT hot, I probably shouldn't bother... been checking every month on the 15th.
I really enjoyed our hike in January (though i wish we had some clouds), and wish we had been able to explore more of the area. I wasn't really thinking much about the heat, and coming from the northeast, the heat will probably be magified :nono::crazycobasa:

I'll ask you after your hike again :lol8::lol8::lol8:
No way, it will be brutal.
I did a lot of hikes in the Phoenix area during the hot season. For me it's okay, I like heat and the desert landscape.
But the heat can really be overwhelming, if you're not used to it. It's like someone slapping you in the face.

sounds warm :lol8:

Look at the bright side.... at least it's a dry heat. :lol8:

No Thanks!

The first time we went, we could not find anyone to join us on July 4th. Too hot they said - it was cold wet and hailing. We had a blast. I have a trip report posted.

Yvonne, my first visit at The Wave was in July 1998 (this place was not really wellknown at this time) and it was 104
