i am thinking about showing up at the park in Kanab, UT at the end of this week to try to score a ticket into The Wave rock formation park. unfortunately they say the drawing is random and only 10 people can get in, so i am not sure how likely one is to get into the park.

has anyone ever tried this with the random drawing? if so, did you succeed or fail?
 
Sounds like the odds are stacked against you if its popular. Maybe some days of the week are less busy?
 
I failed at getting it online. Never tried the in person raffle. Ended up going to Buckskin Gulch, which is on the same trail-head. It's definitely worth visiting as well.
 
what is so special about the place that they won't let anyone in? i just googled it and saw pics that place looks sweet. i had seen pics of before but didn't know where it was or what it was.
 
wow

Access policy[edit]

The Wave is located within the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. This wilderness is administered by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), part of the United States Department of the Interior. A day-use permit from BLM is required to visit The Wave.[9]
BLM limits access to the North Coyote Buttes Wilderness Area to just 20 permits per day.[9] Ten of the permits are available in advance by an on-line lottery conducted four months before the month for which the permit is sought. The remaining ten permits are made available by lottery the day before one's intended hike.[10] Year-round the lottery is held at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Visitor Center in Kanab, Utah. The lottery for the walk-in permits takes place at 9:00 in the morning.[10] Spring and autumn are the most popular times of year to visit, but the popularity of The Wave is such that the chances of obtaining a permit by either advance lottery or the day-before lottery are much less than 50% from March through November. The Wave is particularly well known among European tourists, partly because it appeared in the German documentary film Faszination Natur - Seven Seasons (1996
