Coyote Buttes North

North Coyote Buttes is one of the most iconic photography destinations in the region, featuring renowned sights such as The Wave, Sand Cove, The Boneyard, Melody Arch, and many other striking geological formations. As a true backcountry experience, visiting this area requires a demanding 3.5-mile cross-country hike each way from the Wire Pass Trailhead, offering photographers a combination of physical challenge and unparalleled natural beauty. Access to North Coyote Buttes is strictly regulated, and a permit is required, which participants must obtain through either the walk-in or online lotteries. For added convenience, we can assist clients in attending the walk-in lottery for a nominal fee, increasing the chances of securing a permit to visit The Wave.

If a permit is successfully obtained, the group proceeds to The Wave, but if not, alternative destinations such as White Pocket provide equally remarkable photographic opportunities. The region is abundant with hidden treasures beyond the famous formations, and our team ensures you are guided to the best spots at the optimal times of day for lighting and composition. Along the way, professional photographic instruction and critique are provided, helping participants improve their skills while capturing stunning images of this extraordinary and remote landscape.
