consult the waiter that we live in Comfort Inn & Suites hotel, and they
also incomprehensible. This is because this place never did publicity, it will
not appear in any official tour guide.

To protect this peculiar geological environment, but also allows all people
have a fair chance to visit this beautiful paradise. The Wave, that where the
Vermilion Cliffs National Monument allowed only twenty people a day hike into
The Wave.

The Wave's Wonderland has
already let me dream into its territory. But this fair draw, it is even more
amazed, so I am very eager to travel to The Wave. But I also understand that to get Park
Permit, it is by luck. So do travel plans, we have thought, we do not have
luck. We stayed two nights in Page, Arizona, on the second day to explore the surrounding
attractions in Page, Arizona. If the second day we are lucky, to get Park
Permit. In the third day we went to tour to The Wave. If we are not lucky, did
not get the Park Permit, we will go back to the city of Phoenix.
The second day we got up at
6:30 in the morning, drove to Paria Contact Station, which is 30 miles from
Page Arizona. We go there, is to participate in the lottery, for the next day
into the park permit.
The Paria Contact Station
addresses, even on the official website also expressed unclear. We can only
thorough search on the web, that Paria Contact Station at 200 meters off at Highway 89, it was in place between the two
cities Page, Arizona and Kanab, Utah. It is thirty miles from Page, Arizona; forty miles from Kanab,
Utah.

When we arrived at the Paria
Contact Station, where there is already some people waiting. When the clock
reaches 9:00 am, the office staff to open the door on time. The people of
waiting influx this little office. People take in the order form, fill in a
form and wait for the draw. In a short time, some people cheered, they get the
park permit. Some people sigh, maybe they have repeatedly come here to draw,
but not lucky. Friendly office staff to quiet for cheer people, people of sigh
are encouraged, hoping repeatedly to enter the draw.
Although we did not get the
park permit, but I have been very satisfied. I've tried, and I also vaguely
feel that this is not the time to let me go to the tourist of The Wave. God has
also been expressed, such a beautiful place, I will travel there. I have a miss
in my life for The Wave, it is beautiful!
I saw some travel diary from
other people on the web. Only once participated Lottery, to get people park
permit, it is not easy. Some people live in Page, Arizona for a week, every
morning to try their luck in the Paria Contact Station. Anyway, Page, Arizona
is a very pleasant trip, a holiday where everyone would have been very
fulfilling and happy.
