No wonder the Wave is the Shangri-la for extreme hikers: This natural rock formation in Arizona, part of the Coyote Buttes area, offers a matchless panorama of undulating sandstone.
Top elevation is 5,200 feet, but the area offers lots to admire underfoot as well -- the prints of Jurassic-age dinosaurs can be spotted in the fragile earth. To preserve this place of wonder, only 20 hiking passes are issued daily. Want to explore this rocky road yourself? Carry lots of water, wear rubber soles, and prepare to trek three miles in.
Then feast your eyes.

S(t)unning images, Gopa; thank you.
As Anuj so wonderfully observed sometime back: Nature is all curves!
Incredible visuals! I guess the curves are carved by glaciers and some horizontal features by high water lines?!
Anuj,
Thanks. I too enjoyed watching them (in photos). Not sure what made earth to go through these convulsions.
Raama,
Nice photo. I too think that nature is all curves; a pin point appears/feels pointy coz our eye-sight is not good enough and our bodies are not coarse in enough.
