To keep it preserved, only 20 people per day are allowed access. 10 people are given passes via the web 4 month in advance in a lottery, which is how we got ours. The other 10 passes are passed out in an in-person lottery the morning before - we spoke to a group that got theirs yesterday, with 90 people crammed in the BLM office!
According to our GPS (highly recommended), we hiked 7 miles, with 3.5 hours of moving, and 2.5 hours of "not moving" (taking pictures, drinking water, eating lunch). The trail was advertised as "flat", and while there isn't a ton of elevation change, it's hardly flat. Lots of deep sand & uneven rocks, but it's worth it (just don't go in August when it's 110 degrees...)
A nice spot to stop for a photo partway through the hike
Early in our 2 hours at the wave - the light was constantly changing

Love the lines
The light is totally different in the shade - deep reds. You can see how fragile the sandstone is
More lines, and changing colors
Laurence is finally victorious over the self timer....
And feels compelled to express it!
