White Pocket

Incredibly underrated, out of the world scenery We were able to access with a GMC Sierra pick-up truck, do watch out for sand traps Can't stress enough how beautiful this place is, completely worth the drive. Unlike its neighbouring The Wave, it does not (yet!) require a reservation and access is free, so take advantage! Directions are available on the website of the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.

4 weel drive is a must. Past a few people who got stuck and had to turn around after they got free. It's hot so bring lots of water. Very pretty

Go on a private tour, absolute must do! Beautiful. So serene and special to be here, especially with sunset

The best i have ever seen ... the ride over the sand is hard - but our rental suburban made it perfectly ... use 4Low !! - the views are so breathtaking - it is really killig ....it is a absolutely must in the southwest but it takes over 2 hours one way from kanab. We will come again for siren

Such an incredible and otherworldly place! I felt like I’d stepped out of a spaceship onto another planet. We used a tour company for this destination. You absolutely need a high clearance 4WD vehicle, and need to know how to drive one in tight and ever changing terrain. We actually came across 2 groups that had gotten stuck, and they were in capable vehicles, but still got stuck. Our tour driver knew exactly where to go, and where to avoid. Anyway, the scenery was beautiful, and there was a photo op everywhere. If you can’t get a Wave permit, then DO THIS! In fact, do White Pocket even if you DO get the Wave permit. It’s absolutely worth it! IF you choose not to use a tour company, and you’re going during the summer monsoon season, then I’d highly recommend getting there as early as possible, so you can leave by 3 and avoid the storms. And take lots of water or Gatorade.

Out of this world rock formations. Beautiful scenery and great camping. If your vehicle isn’t high clearance 4x4 don’t try to get here.

Incredible. Much smaller than South Coyote Buttes but still Incredible.
