Yesterday we decided to look for small adventures around Page, AZ. A fellow camper had told us about a great bike “path” that goes around the rim of the mesa that Page occupies. The “path” turned out to be a singled track off road trail. I quickly found out I am not a mountain biker! We made it about 3/4 mile and then turned around.
It was time to find a different adventure and find one we did! We drove to the Beehive Campground which is about 2 miles from Wahweap, where we are staying. We wanted to check it out as it looked like a boondocker site. Lucky us, as it led us to a most amazing rock formation just up the gravel road to the left. We decided to get out and rock scramble a little. We happened upon a trail, marked by carefully laid out rocks, that circumvented the entire formation. What a thrill! It turns out that the trail has the unofficial name of “The New Wave”. I had read about the wave and had seen pictures of it. It felt like we were there! Thank goodness for the “failure” or we would not have discovered our “find”!
