Most days at 9 am a bingo drawing is held at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Visitor Center in Kanab, Utah for permits to Coyote Buttes North (The Wave).
Only 20 people per day can get a permit, 10 online and 10 in person.
The online permits sell out months in advance.
The number of people showing up at 9 am to get the permit may range from 30 to 50 or higher for the 10 slots.
Some people show up day after day until they get their bingo number called.
