“Awesome slot canyon hike!”

Reviewed 5/30/2019

Overall Rating

The previous reviewer is incorrect, this is not just parking for the wave. It is parking for the wave which requires a permit and this is parking for Wire Pass trail. There is a self pay station that costs $6/ person for Wire Pass. The trail is a great hike through some very cool slot canyons. You have to hike about 1 mile down a river wash then you come to the slot canyons. You hike about .7 miles through slot canyons until you come to a T. Go left or right for even more slot canyons. To the right was kind of wet. I did not camp here so I cannot comment on that. The road to get here is rough, my minivan made it no problem, but I wouldn't want to take my lower sitting motorhome.

“Trailhead for The Wave”

Reviewed 12/18/2018

Nightly rate:	FREE!
Days stayed:	2
RV Length:	19' (Travel Trailer)

Overall Rating

This is the usual trailhead for the Wave (Hard-to-get BLM permit required if you plan on doing that hike). Otherwise it's pretty similar to other dispersed camping along House Rock Valley Road.

There's plenty of parking in the main lot right along the road but for a little seclusion or if you have a tent you can follow a track up a small hill to a fire ring.

If you're looking for something a bit more formal or you're not hiking to The Wave you may be better off a little further south at the State Line Campground so you can leave parking here for people who do have Wave plans.

The north end of House Rock Valley Road is surfaced in clay and may be passable to 2wd low clearance vehicles when dry but if it gets even slightly wet it becomes completely impassable, even with 4wd. To the south it gets a bit rockier. Always check the latest weather and road conditions (https://www.blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files/documents/files/GSENM-Road-Condition-Report.pdf)
