1. In which geologic period did the Wave form?
A. Jurassic
B. Silurian
C. Ice Age
The Correct Answer: Jurassic
The Wave is among the most photographed formations in the American Southwest. Dinosaurs left their tracks behind in the Navajo sandstone, and fossil burrows of Jurassic beetles and other insects have also been discovered.
2. Which one of these is NOT a challenge for hikers in the Wave?
A. Lack of trail signs
B. Heat
C. Torvosaurus
The Correct Answer: Torvosaurus
No need to avoid the mighty Torvosaurus—it hasn’t been around for about 150 million years. But summer heat can be vicious in the challenging 6-mile round-trip hike—temps over 100 degrees are common. And don’t expect easy-to-follow trails. To keep the area as pristine as possible, there are no developed trails or signs.
3. How many people are allowed daily into the Coyote Buttes North area, which includes the Wave?
A. 42
B. 64
C. 80
The Correct Answer: 64
The Bureau of Land Management, which manages the wilderness area, allots permits through lottery systems. A maximum of 64 lucky people receive permits to enter each day, and they are for day-use only.
