    The Wave Cave is a popular hiking destination in the Superstition Wilderness. The rocks inside the cave are shaped in a way that pictures give the impression of a huge wave – so get out your camera or phone and take some unique photos.

      Wave Cave is on Arizona State Trust Land and need a permit for entry. Parking is at Carney Springs Trailhead. The trailhead is at 2,200ft, and the cave is at 3,100ft

        NOT an easy trail. Definitely intermediate to hard level trail. Still, Wave Cave is still a really unique spot with a large rock that resembles a wave. Me and a friend took a much needed nap under that wave before making our trek down. A must see if you are an intermediate to experienced hiker.
