Coyote Buttes And Page, Az To Kanab, Ut Sights And Times?

Just got lucky with the 5th or 6th permit for The Wave for April 14, 2015

I've been a bunch of times but want to make the most of this time out there.

Does anyone know if The Wave formation gets full sun with no shadows at time of year?

The spots planned so far include:

*The Wave
*Buckskin Gulch
*Horseshoe Bend - Sunset
*Stud Horse Point - Late afternoon/sunset
*Paria Town Site - afternoon
*Lower Antelope -mid morning?
*Toad Stools - whenever
*Wahweap Hoodoos - before noon
*Yellow Rock - never been but probably late afternoon?
Coral Pink Sand Dunes - morning or late afternoon

I've never been to Coyote South or White Pocket but would love to go, except for the $200 or so tour cost but may just have to splurge for it since it may be the last time out there. So you need to go overnight to really get great shots?

Anyone have any other suggestions for spots out there that are accessible with a Subaru Outback?

At Coyote North, any suggestions for places to hike out there? I've found The Wave, The Wave II, as well as the one are that sometimes has a big pool of water about halfway out to The Wave with a little climb to the right and been to the teepees in Coyote North. Will hike up to Top Rock assuming there is no crazy sandstorm this time around but is there anything else out there?

Most of the ruins in Paria Townsite are gone. There are a couple foundations but need to bushwhack through the tamarisk to find them. The movie lot is gone.
BLM closed the road off the Cottonwood road to Wahweap Hoodoos so now it's a very long hike from Big Water.
Cottonwood road is scenic geology-wise
Coral Pink need 4wd. Great pictographs in an alcove there.
Coyote South is a big yawn after being in Coyote North. Again, 4wd or be prepared to hike the road in.
There are petroglyphs near Coyote North and also off the main highway south of the road cut. You get to the glyphs near C. North by hiking east up to the bluff off H.R. Valley road right about at stateline.
