White Pocket is part of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. And it’s just mind-blowingly beautiful.

There is a sandy trail that leads for about 100 yards from the parking area. After that, there is no set trail, as you are free to explore along the colorful slickrock.

The road in is a good hour and a half from any non 4 X 4 spot with very spotty cell signal.

It’s on BLM land, so you can spend the night at the trailhead. For the best light, it would be preferable to sleep there and shoot in the morning. It is also an excellent location for night photography. There is no outhouse, so plan accordingly.
