We were lucky to win the "old" daily lottery back in 2016. The lottery itself was a funny event worth to remember, held up at the visitor center in Kanab. Sad to hear that it's no longer happening and even more sad that they raised the daily amount of people... hopefully the environment doesn't suffer too much.
I've never been to the wave, but I've been amongst the Red Rock in Southern Utah, and it just glows. I don't think people will ever understand how spectacular it is unless they actually see it.
Thank you for this information. I didnt know they stopped doing the walked in lottery and replaced it online for the daily lottery now. I know you said you have to be within the geofence area to apply for the daily lottery. I was wondering if they can track your location when you apply? Because we here in Phoenix and i was thinking to apply a day before we head there to save us some time and just in time to make it for the next day for the instruction if we won. Is that possible?
Thanks for updating the information about new lottery system, we just found it and changed our plans so we don't have to stay in Kanab(where it seems not close to any attractions). We are going there tomorrow. Thanks again for the info!
Guys you won the lottery ! That Wave was amazing to set, it was so so beautiful to see and the whole area was and like you said Patti, Photos will never do it justice. Great video both, I loved this :) ~ Anna
Does it matter the time you enter the lottery? Coming from Las Vegas and I’m wondering if I need to be in the geofence by 6am or since it’s a lottery it doesn’t matter?
It doesn’t matter. Just so you’re in before the lottery closes. Good luck! Tag us in a photo? Once you’ve been there, it’s so fun to see what perspectives others find in that beautiful setting.
Do you know if your chances of winning the lottery are better for smaller groups (of say 2) vs larger groups (of say 4)? What time does the online lottery open and is it simply first come first serve? Can it be hiked multiple times in the same day for which winners have a permit?
It’s in the video: I think it’s open all day and they do the drawing each night at 7pm for two days later. And yes, we think the smaller # has better chance. And yes you can hike it all day and night. It got too hot by late morning though.
Oh thank you so much. Love learning stuff like that, trust me. Grew up in two syllable Lancaster (Lank-ster), PA, not three syllable Lancaster like the actor.
We won the lottery and did the hike two weeks ago🎉 it’s just remarkable!

Do you feel my subaru outback and trailer could make the dirt road next week?
Well you can’t drive to The Wave if that’s what you mean? But an Outback could easily make it to the free campground.
@@JeffPattiAkaElliptiVANgo Yea, sorry...the free campground is what I was implying. Apologies for not clearing that up :-)
Yes you’ll be fine, take it slow and get there early.
@@JeffPattiAkaElliptiVANgo Awesome! Thanks, I'm very excited!
Love this! So happy you got to experience this. Maybe one day we will too :)
You must!

Thank you so much for the info!
