chiranjeeb Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I recently visited the northern Coyote buttes area (including the Wave) in the Paria Canyon-Vermillion Cliffs wilderness. It was an amazing experience and I would love to go back. I was wondering about the southern Coyote Buttes area ---although this area also requires a permit, it seems a lot less in demand compared to The Wave. Next time I go back, I would like to explore it; both because it seems less well travelled and easier to get permits. Does anybody know what are some of the more interesting areas to explore in the southern Coyote buttes? Does the area require good routefinding like the Wave where there are no trails? Is it necessary to have 4WD to explore the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthuryeo Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Where are your images? We would love to see them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiranjeeb Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 The slides are being scanned right now ----in a week or so they should be on-line. I did not have enough time to spend there though, hence the desire to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthuryeo Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Can't wait to see them. I just got back from Arches, Canyonlands NP and Monument Valley recently. 5 days wasn't enough for me. I think I need, at least, 2 weeks there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_chen7 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I was able to visit the Paria Canyon twice this past summer. This is such an amazing area -- I look forward to returning. The hike along the Paria River takes 3-5 days. As a photographic destination, you could certainly linger there longer. <br/><br/> I've posted some images from these trips on <a href="http://www.whatandysaw.com/gallery/Paria%20Canyon/">my website</a>.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_wolcott Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I have been there several times. Take alot of water and more water, when going to the wave and its very close surrounding area it can be hard going. I have some great images on my website at artofnaturegallery.com. The best time to be there is the monsoon season but be very careful the lightning and rains can be deadly but the rewards are great I have not entered them all on my site yet, The photographic beauty at sunrise and near sunset is amazing and the rewards are athe photographs you will enjoy for all time. I stress again take water and a buddy incase of accidents. Save your film un til you get close to the wave, what will seems great on the way is a mirage until you see the area aroung the wave.

arny raedts Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 It took us three trips in three years to get lucky with the permit lottery. But last year we finally got lucky! And it was an unforgettable experience.<br><br> <CENTER><IMG SRC="http://www.arny.nl/wave/PICT0002_wave3.jpg"></CENTER> <BR><BR> <CENTER><IMG SRC="http://www.arny.nl/best_usa/PICT0044_wave1.jpg"></CENTER><BR><BR> The South Butties are a bit more adventurous. You really need a 4WD to explore the big area. Laurent Martress book "Photographing the South West" has some good advice on locations and routes. Also the books by Michael Kelsey are a good read with lots of good maps. <br><br> More photo's on <a href="http://http://www.arny.nl/thewave.html/">my website</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiranjeeb Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Arny, I loved your pictures, especially of the Rimrocks. And guess what, I also visited the rimrocks hoodoos (Toadstools)! But both in The Wave and the Hoodoos, I didn't have enough time to wait for good light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
