We were so lucky to win the Wave lottery last December for a group of 6 people. BLM allows only 20 people per day to hike this unique place. The weather has been wet when we arrived at Kanab. However the day of the hike it was sunny and a bit windy at times. The only trail sign is at the beginning by the Coyote Wash (if you miss this sign you will continue to Buckskin Gulch), except signs at the trailhead parking lot. We brought a couple of compasses and printed 3 more copies of the map BLM sent us so that we have more eyes to check for the right path. The map did a great job helping us navigate to the Wave. We've been hiking a lot in Utah so the 400 feet elevation gain wasn't big of a deal for us. Walking on the desert sands did not bother us either. After about 2 hours we reached the entrance of the Wave and enjoyed the most aesthetically beautiful rock formation nature has to offer.
