The Southwest region of the USA is famous for its otherworldly landscapes — and the Wave is one of them. Tucked away the northeast corner of Arizona’s Vermilion Cliffs National Monument (about 515 kilometers north of Phoenix and 250 kilometers north of the Grand Canyon), the Wave could easily be the setting for a sci-fi movie. The undulating sandstone bluffs that have formed over millions of years of erosion are extremely popular with hikers and nature photographers — so much so that the Bureau of Land Management allows only 20 people to enter the area each day to protect the sanctity of the landscape and the experience. Online and walk-in lotteries are used to select the lucky few.
