- A Great Alternative to The Wave - Coyote Buttes South
You've probably heard of The Wave before. It first became popular after being used as a PC background by Windows 7 in 2009. If not, let's just say there's this rock formation that is really popular. So popular, in fact, that there is a lottery just to get permits to visit it. People for all over the world enter into the Wave Lottery every month. So it's hard to get.
Everybody knows that.
What a lot of people don't know is that just south of The Wave is a place called Coyote Buttes South. And Coyote Buttes South is every bit as amazing as the Wave. There really isn't a lot out there that tells people this. I've ignored Coyote Buttes South for years now. I even had permits once and just blew them off and hiked something else.
Well, Tina and I finally went to Coyote Buttes South. And it blew our minds. And I know I should probably type a bunch of stuff about it, but I'm kinda tired and hate writing. I think I'll let the video do the talking. OK, that's enough writing. Watch the video and stuff I guess. I dunno. But I'm going to go watch TV.

So wonderful to have you back🎉
Nice to be back, even if I'm a little gimpy still.
As a 4Runner owner, I laughed at your Jeep comment 🤣
Glad you’re on the mend…do your THERAPY! Tina is the BEST, I always crack up when she speaks to you in sign language!!!😂. Love the channel!
One can never get enough of natures beauty. Thanks for the visual treats.
Years ago a friend and I did some helicopter camping in that area mostly looking for Slot canyons that were unknown. Pretty sure we put down footsteps where none or a rare few had been before.
Helicopter camping? Wow. That sounds amazing!
an additional note about the fragility of coyote buttes, people should also use rubber tipped trekking poles when they go out there. i saw people banging their metal tips at the wave. also please be careful about the fossil trackways. nothing should touch them or go in them. i know that some photogs like to pour water into them to see them better, but it isn't ok.
And microspikes! I saw some tracks on the way to the wave. Luckily I didn't see any damage in the Wave or Coyote Buttes South.
Thanks for the beauty. Sometimes I wonder how the Indians must have felt. Such sacred places.
I think about that all the time. Places like Delicate Arch or Salt Creek....no wonder they loved the land so much.
They probably felt cold, hot, hungry, and scared for their short lives.
@@sedalia9356nah, they lived healthy lives.
These places were protected by spirits
I was devastated when I didn’t get wave permit but scored SCB instead and it was fabulous. 20 permits daily and don’t forget the MICROWAVE
CBS did not disappoint. Keep trying for the Wave. Eventually you'll get it.
Ah the memories of a broken down Jeep in Coyote Buttes. Heading up to Page in a few weeks! Not in a Jeep this time😂
Haha! This reminded me of you guys. But it wasn't directed at you. We've saved a few Jeep owners out there. One of these days I'll break down and probably have a Jeep come bail me out, so I should watch what I say.
Superbes,bon rétablissement Jerry.
Welcome back Mr. & Ms. Arizona! My wife and I have been following your adventures and enjoying your amazing videos. Thanks for sharing these beautiful places. We wish you a speedy recovery. Keep on traveling 🥾
Superb photography, twisted geology, scrumptious mexollogy You are the only one who shows the Mexican plates.! The close-ups are exceptional. Thanks from old man far away..
Glad you are healing and continuing to get out. Always enjoy your videos, very inspiring to get out into nature. Thanks for sharing.
Wow... So beautiful
Glad to have you back and see you out exploring again, Jerry and Tina! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Jerry!
On Superbowl Sunday, 2024, I did a tour of Coyote Buttes South (CBS). I could not get a permit for The Wave, but I was not disappointed as CBS had jaw-dropping scenery. I went with a tour company and I'm glad. My 2wd vehicle would not have made it and the guide was great. Regards, Andy
Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. Glad to see the shoulder is coming along. My husband used to be in PT. He says, "Keep up the good work."
Thanks for sharing this one Jerry. I’m one week post op from my rotator cuff surgery so I can relate to your challenges. Can’t wait to try this adventure when I’m back out there later this year.
It's no fun. I cannot wait to be able to stretch my arm above my head again, sleep on my side...so long to go until I can do that. Best of luck on your recovery. You'll be in T-rex mode in no time.
Glad you are on the mend Jerry! Shoulder injuries are the worst, just remember to do everything the PT says and you will be back to 100% in no time!
A couple years ago we managed to find a way to get in there with only a 2wd Mazda5 that only had 5.5" of ground clearance.
Just to clarify, the 2wd access that we discovered is actually a completely different route than the standard 4x4 road that people normally take. I thought I should mention that before someone attempts to drive their 2wd vehicle on the sandy 4x4 road.
We didn't think the roads were actually that bad. Not nearly as bad as Parunuweap or White Pocket. But I agree. I don't want to encourage people to try it with their 2WD sedan.
@@JerryArizona So you found the road to White Pocket to be pretty bad? We've now got a stock L400 Delica and we're planning to drive in there next month sometime. I sure hope our van will be able to get us there.
CBS just blew me away.. I was there a few days ago. Still trying for CBN!
Keep trying and good luck!
Excellent example of Aeolian cross-cutting sandstone beds! Beautiful photography as usual. Thanks Jerry and Tina!
Thank you for yet another amazing video Jerry & Tina. We have grown to love adventuring in the SW due in part to your videos. We are fans of your work and would be fan girling if we ever see you out there on the trails!
We're out there. If you ever run into us, don't hesitate to say hi.
Great video. Nice to see you two back at it. I had rotator cuff surgery a couple of years ago, so I feel for you.
It's not fun. Only like 10 more months until I'm 100%, or so they say.
love that area all along rock house road. Went into white pockets last fall after watching your trip there. Spent the night . Now you got me wanting to see this area. for this one
i probley will go in the southern end of rock house. Comming up from phoenix.
I've been meaning to get back there and camp at White Pocket for years. Eventually. This area is just as incredible. Love that entire area.
Wow, got to add it to the list. Just got back from our South West trip where we got to hike in Death Valley, Snow Canyon, Red Rock, Arches and Canyonlands. Already talking about our next trip back. There is so much to see and experience in your neck of the woods. Glad surgery went well. Take care and do the physical therapy, it may seem like torture, but it works. Also glad to see Tina hasn't lost her quick finger flash. Cheers
He lives!!! Great to see you two out and about. These are special places but lets hope not too many people get lost trying to find them
Bummer - the dreaded, “need high clearance 4wd ….”. That kills the deal. Thanks for the warning on that.
It isn't as bad as White Pocket. And you can always look into a tour. It's worth it.
WOW!! Great choice for your come back video, Jerry. Congrats on your recovery. Happy to have your channel active again. Looking forward to seeing more of you and Tina. Living adventures vicariously thru you. 🙂
Yay!!!! So excited to watch this after you’ve been recovering. We hope everything is going well with physical therapy and life in general. Can’t even imagine how many times Tina has flipped you off in recent weeks… Coyote Buttes South looks amazing, and also so incredibly fragile. Hopefully there’s an age limit to keep inadvertently destructive little ones like ours out of this treasure.
Tina is remarkably reserved at flying the bird until we get out hiking. Which is even more impressive as grumpy as I've been through recovery.
Glad you are out and about again. Hopefully, you will be back to full speed soon. We loved the hike. We are going to have to check it out.
Had a great time here last week. Thanks for the beta. We ended up doing a 15 mile adventure from lone pine through the entire southern buttes. So worth it.
Great place to explore, for sure.
Dang man! This was awesome!
Thanks, man. Just waiting for that Cosmic Ashtray vid. Didn't realize you went with Eric. Bumped into him and his wife out in the wild once. Good people.
@@JerryArizona Oh nice! Ashtray video will be after my Paria video.
Beautiful area! Good to see the both of you, glad you are healing up!
Glad to see y'all back. Makes Mondays worth it
I was waiting and waiting..... yep, you got the bird hahahahahaha
WOW...those rock formations...incredible! I need a truck in the worst way! Thanks for making this video.
Our 4Runners were a great investment. It definitely opens a whole other world. You can look into the tours though. They'll drive you there.
We’re all collectively doing “the wave” cheering on your recovery!
El Tapatio! We have one in Flagstaff. It's my current favorite. It seems to draw gun violence though, haha. There have been a couple of shootings there since it opened. It's on the edge of the Sunnyside neighborhood which is one of the few neighborhoods in Flag that are known for crime. My friend and I have been applying for Wave permits off and on for several years with no luck. Guess I'll add Coyote Buttes South to the process.
It was OK. Can't imagine getting shot for it though. Keep trying on the wave. You'll get lucky eventually. In the meantime, CBS and White Pocket are great alternatives.
A wonderful video! And all by a one armed videographer. I love that area which together with White Pocket is better than the wave. You captured some great shots in this one. Glad to see you out there again! Thanks for sharing as not sure I’ll back there this year. 😀👍
good to have you and T money back!!!
I think I'd much rather explore this area than hope the best for the Wave lottery.
Absolutely stunning scenery. Hope you’re progressing well in PT.
Good to see you guys back!
Good to see y'all back!
Glad to have you back
Wow! This place is stunning! Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed video with various places that you explored. I have a Subaru Forester as my SUV but I’m not sure if I can take it here.
Maybe to the Paw Hole side, but we didn't drive that way so not 100% sure. I think you could hike from there to where we were too. Maybe look into those roads.
@@JerryArizona thank you! I will look into the roads.
Welcome back!! Will you create a video on your recovery? I been rewatching your prior videos on the Grand Canyon. 😍😍
I've actually been recording bits here and there. I have an idea, but we'll have to see how everything plays out.
Great video! Makes me want to head out there and see it. Also, go project t-rex! Glad you are recovering.
Good call indeed
Good to see you back at it
Great to see you back Jerry, and Tina of course. This place looks super nice, kind of The Wave light edition! How was the mexican, as good as El Patio?
It hit the spot. Not as good as El Patio, but most places aren't.
Welcome back, Jerry!
Lovely😄👍
Only like 6 more months and maybe my arm will be in decent enough shape to go climbing with you guys.
Climbing, hiking, canyoneering, what ever👍👍👍👍👍
Great to see you both back again, with the humour I enjoy between you both. Love Mexican Food, unfortunately non available where I live 😢
What! Man, I'd move if I were you! Or at least look up some recipes. I don't know what I'd do if there wasn't Mexican Food available.
Good to see you back
Hah, you make me laugh about the Jeep comment! So good to hear that your shoulder is healing well too, thanks,for the update.
Chris.
I actually owned a Jeep at one point. I just love poking at Jeep owners, but honestly don't have anything against them. I mean, lots of people like off roading. Some people also like working on their vehicles, so Jeeps have their place.
Very nice. Heading to Powell next month. Gonna work this in. That’s a bitchen looking rock in the thumbnail
It showed up as "Chocolate Swirl" on our Gaia. Not sure what the actual name is, but it was a highlight.
Glad you are back out there. This video is just what I was curious about as we are planning July 4th week out that way. It may be too hot tho? Looking forward to the next video.
Oh man, that would be brutal in July. Full sun exposure. Definitely wouldn't recommend it around then. Maybe kayak the Colorado from Glen Canyon or hike part of Buckskin Gulch. At least there's shade in Buckskin.
i figured so we plan to be higher elevation in Bryce etc but had a few days to hit wave geofence to give that permit a try and hike early am if we get lucky- thanks for the alternate ideas with shade.@@JerryArizona
Way too hot!
I hike the wave in early july last year. No problem . Just started at day break and was out by noon. The people giving the permitts out will try and talk you out of it even.
but i loved it and it was the only time i could get drawn. less people will go that time of year.
@@robhebbs7960 thank you
Thanks - heading to the Page area in two days. Probably won’t win the lottery for a pass to The Wave, so I’ll try for this one too.
Getting back to normal sloooooooowly. It'll take several more months before I can fully extend my arm and put any weight on it. But I can use it from the elbow down, so at least I can hike mellow stuff and finally edit again.
Good to have you two back. You bring us to such magical places. Your chemistry together is enchanting. Your life together must be so much fun.
What you do when the camera is off is none of my business. Have fun. Treasure each moment. They are finite.
Several of my other favorite RUclipsrs are having health crisis situations now as well. One is a Canadian gentleman, Crazy Neighbor who, with his friend Steve, camps in unusual places with unconventional equipment. His leukemia is doing a number on him.
He, like you, is an adventurer and genuinely decent person.
He, like you, is the kind of friend we should all aspire to be.
Live your best life and thanks for sharing your travels with us.
🏜️✌️🖖
Nicely shot video!
Nice to see a new video. Glad that Jerry is mending and Tina retains her signature move.
Good to see you're recovering well. And those rock formations-wow! Look like layers of a flaky pastry. 🤯
Yes! It is a great alternative. Went there several years ago!
It sure was a beautiful day for you!
Thanks 🌞 its so beautiful! Looks like someone took a giant Zen rake through it❤
I really liked your filming of it, the way you put it together, cinematography - is that what they call it? And the music really fit good with each bit. You've gotten really good at putting these together. WTG
Thank you!
thanks Jerry and Tina, good to see you out there, thanks for sharing, it'll be better one of these days...
I have never seen a bad photo of Half-Half .... before.
PS - have you been 10 mi S of there on teh Plateau? Big Indian village with Grand Kiva and Petroglyphs on the cliff edge
We haven't, but I'll add it to the list.
Amazing! Love it❤
Red light therapy every second day for 20 minutes.
I cant waite to check this out. Just found your channel, I'm impressed. So I subbed. 🏜🌮❤️✌️
Thank you!
You say in the outtakes 4runner or Jeep, what about a 4 wheel drive pickup?
4WD pickup would be fine. I just love Toyotas and making fun of Jeeps.
We went there with a guide after we did not get a permit to the Wave. Permit for Coyote Butte South was much easier to get. It was brutal hot in Sept when we went. When you are at the southern Wave and you walk another 200 feet to the North, the rock formation drops off and when you look North you can see the popular Wave. Our guide also pointed out fresh big cat prints in sand near the dinosaur tracks. Since it was still very early morning and the only ones at the site, he was on the look out for the big cat. Some say the size of Coyote Butte south more than makes up for not getting a permit to the popular Wave.
You made my morning seeing a new video from you two. If I had to choose 1 utuber it would be you. Hope all is better and more to come.
Enjoyable as always. What was the temperature out there (presume March 2024)?
It was perfect. Can't say exactly, but I want to say 50's. Maybe 60's.
This is awesome! Long time follower❤
Nice...have to add this to my list. Have you been out to the Wahweap Hoodoos yet?
Been there. I took down that video since the place is so fragile and not protected by permits. Amazing spot though.
Great to see you back! All the best with the recovery from surgery.
Nice video. Well done. 25 years ago I backpacked into that area. There were no permits needed then. They did have permits for the wave but it was a different permit system and not as hard to get. Always loved this whole area. Again, your video is very nice. Thanks for sharing, hope your shoulder gets better soon.
Senery looks great . Tina looked fabulous by the way just saying. Glad the shoulder is doing good .
Good to see you again ❤
Welcome back Jerry!!! Glad to see you making videos again!!!
BEAUTIFUL. Haven't made it out there yet, but your video definitely does the speaking and convincing. I swear, nature is absolutely astonishing sometimes. Hope you're doing well in your recovery!
Hi Jerry, good to see you and Tina out and about. Thanks for sharing these amazing places and vistas with us. Hope the healing is going well, and wishing you two the very best. Cheers...
Glad to see you back on the trails!!! and shots fired at Jeep owners! lol (i got rid of mine last year so now gonna look at 4runner and the gx460). Thanks buddy and welcome back!
I couldn't help myself. (Also a former Jeep owner.)
Great to see you both out, about and sharing! Question..re-watched your and Tina's GC rim to rim, planning to do, what would Tina recommend to prepare?
Good to see you back Jerry 👍
Great to see you back on the trail Jerry. And of course Tina! Glad the shoulder rehab is going well and on schedule. Beautiful area at Coyote Buttes that reminded me of my White Pocket trip in Jan. 2020. Great videography as usual. All the best!
Another awesome video! It’s been a minute since we have heard from you. Was starting to worry. Glad to see you back in the saddle!
Wow!! !What a beautiful area. Stunning!!!Glad to see you back
Looks like you "shouldered" on through the physical part quite well. . That camera work was some of your best ever. Wow! Thanks
Happy to see you out and exploring again! I hope you continue to heal well!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing and glad that you are back.
This place looks sweet! Keep up the exploring 🤙
Your video captured a beautiful and complex place amazingly well. Bravo 👏👏👏
Beautiful!! Have missed your videos. Happy healing!
Missed you Jerry!! Great to see some Jerry Arizona content again!! Love it!
Fantastic video of a beautiful place. Very happy to see both out exploring. Best of luck with the PT.
Glad you’re back! Another hike to add to the list. 😊
Welcome back! I hope all is well, or at least improving.
I hit the thumbs up at about the 0:10 mark, not even caring what was to come in the next 12 minutes. Nice to see you back and easing into things.
What an ending... being a 4Runner guy myself. Not sure I articulated that properly...
Unbelievable beautiful, would love to be there! Great video, thanks for sharing,
Martin from Germany
