About this guide

Vermilion Cliffs Guide is an independent guide to Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona. The site name describes the place we write about. We are not the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, a tour operator or GetYourGuide, and we cannot issue permits. For official information, see the BLM monument page and recreation.gov for Wave permits.

Rules, fees and hours here are checked against BLM, National Park Service and recreation.gov pages. Tour prices, ratings and durations come from the GetYourGuide listings. All of these change; when a listing or an official page disagrees with us, trust the listing or the agency, and tell us so we can fix it.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book a tour through a link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we write, including telling you that no tour can get you into The Wave without a permit. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
