Everything you need to know about the lottery and Hiking to the wave. What to expect when you enter the lottery and how the in person lottery in Kanab, Utah works.

In total only about 7,300 people per year are allowed to hike to The Wave in the Coyote Buttes. Half of those come from winning the in person lottery held in Kanab, Utah which is what we did. The in person lottery is held Monday Friday in the Kanab Center in downtown Kanab. The doors will open promptly at 8:30 a.m. and you will go inside and fill out the 1 page application.

This application will ask how many people are in your party and ask you to provide the names of those people. There is space for you to enter six names on the form. The form will also ask if you are bringing a dog along with you. Once you have completed the form you will turn it in and they will assign you a number which is written on your form. The Number on your form also has a corresponding Bingo Ball which will be placed into a Bingo Ball Basket to be chosen.

As they begin to choose bingo balls they will only choose as many bingo balls as are associated with a total of 10 people. If the first ball chosen has an application with 6 people on it then there will only be 4 slots (People) remaining to be chosen.

There is a fee of $7 per person and per pet on the application if your number is chosen. There is no fee to simply enter the lottery. Also, it is important to bring exact cash or a check to pay if you are chosen. They will not accept Credit Cards or bills larger than a $20 bill. You must pay after all the winners have been selected.

After all of the winners have been selected, they will issue a pamphlet containing photographs and descriptions associated with those to guide you to The Wave. They will also issue the permit and a parking pass which must be left with your vehicle in the parking lot. The Permit must be attached to your backpack clearly and openly displayed for park services to see.

Hiking to the wave without a permit carries a $10,000.00 fine so I would highly recommend against it. I saw at least one trail camera while hiking in the area so they are watching. Also, you always see them in the Wire Pass parking lot and out on the trails. It is not worth risking it.

Hiking with dogs to the wave is permitted as long as they were listed on your application and you paid the $7.00 fee. We were happy to pay the fee so we could bring Skye along for the hike. She loves getting out on the trails.
