9The Wave, Arizona

The Wave is a stunning sandstone rock formation located in the Coyote Buttes North area of the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Its undulating, wavy patterns and vibrant colors make it one of the most photographed locations in the United States. The intricate lines and shapes, formed by erosion and the flow of water, give it a surreal appearance.

Access to The Wave is limited to a small number of visitors each day through a lottery system, making it a coveted spot for hikers and photographers alike. The surreal beauty of this geological marvel will leave you awestruck and wondering if you’ve stepped into another world.
