Highlight • Natural Monument
If you did not get a permit, there is still a chance to get one on short notice since a number of walk-in permits are available every day. Therefore you have to be at the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument Visitors Center one day before you want to go to The Wave as early as possible. The Visitors Center opens at 8 a.m., lottery is done at 9 a.m.
