Coyote Buttes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coyote Buttes is a section of the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), spanning extreme South Central Utah and North Central Arizona, just south of US 89 halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona. People who wish to visit the Coyote Buttes will need to obtain a permit in advance. Only a few people per day are allowed to hike in.

One of the highlights of Coyote Buttes is the spectacular rock formation known simply as The Wave, an incredible sandstone formation which has been photographed countless times; however, relatively few people know the location of this area. It is said that the hike into The Wave is a particularly difficult one.

The Wave and Buckskin Gulch share the Wire Pass Trailhead on House Rock Valley Road.
