White Pocket is a pocket of swirling white, red, and orange Navajo Sandstone on the Paria Plateau in Vermilion Cliffs country. Honeycombed domes and brain-rock textures rival The Wave with no lottery permit required for day use. Deep sand roads demand true 4WD/air-down tires; no water or shade. Stay on rock and avoid cryptobiotic soils.
