Wave Rocks
The wave is a natural gallery of sand and rocks, located along the border of the states of Utah and Arizona in the USA, in relative proximity to famous parks in the USA – Grand Canyon Park, Zion National Park. This place is famous among travelers and photographers due to its colorful, hilly shapes.
About 200 million years ago, instead of the Volna Rocks, there was a sandy desert with huge dunes that the wind carried from one place to another. Later, these layered dunes became rocks that had been smoothed by erosion over millions of years. Amazing iridescences of colors are created by minerals oxidized by the action of groundwater – manganese and iron. The thin white stripes cutting through the rocks are calcite, or calcareous spar.
Due to their fragility, it is very difficult to get inside the gallery. Guided tours of the Volna rocks are limited to 20 people per day. 20 tickets for the tour are allocated daily. 10 tickets are raffled off online 2-3 months before the tour, the other 10 tickets are raffled off in the morning before the tour. Photographers from all over the world come here to have a unique photo session. The most suitable time for a photo session is noon and an hour before noon, since there are no shadows at this time.
