Coyote Buttes North (Video) is located on the Utah/Arizona border, where it is home to some of the most fascination rock formations on the planet. The area is so popular as a photographic site that access has been restricted in order to protect the delicate surrounding landscape. Most visitors come to see and photograph The Wave, but the area is also home to several other spectacular rock formations including the Second Wave, Melody Arch and the Top Rock Arch. If you would like to feast your eyes on these miracles of nature you will need to apply for an on-line or lottery permit. Seeing the formations requires you to embark on a grueling 6-mile hike.
