Itinerary
Located far away from the beaten path. Located near the famous Wave. Unlike The Wave, White Pocket doesn't require a permit. White Pocket, a group of domes and ridges covering an area of one square mile, below a larger mesa lined by similar rocks. A pocket, in this sense, refers to a relatively small area of land markedly different to its surroundings, which here, like most of the plateau, are sandy plains sparsely covered by bushes and small trees. White, or light grey is the dominant rock color, in contrast to the red of the Coyote Buttes, but the general features are similar - swirling, thin-layered strata, adjacent layers of contrasting color, and curious erosive features. Other colorful pockets are found further south and east on the plateau, some also with an official name but most unrecognized. There are several dozen locations, all with the potential to have photogenic formations.

Highly Recommend!
Tim was an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating! We had a phenomenal day at White Pockets!
Breathtaking. Rare. Roam made it the best experience.
We drove Limo style along a 4x4 road to White Pocket heaven. What a beautiful rare ‘freak mystery’ of nature. Breathtaking. Ken lead us through this treasure pointing out details about the area and guiding us to capture the best pictures. Ken ensured we were careful to preserve and not damage this treasure.
Fabulous!
Fabulous!! This area is magnificent, you feel like you are on Mars! Our guide, Ken was so knowledgeable, friendly, and outgoing! So worth the effort to get to White Pocket. Only problem is that It takes 2 hours to get to experience, roads are sandy and rocky.
White Pocket tour with Ken@ROAM
The tour with Ken was truly an incredible and educational experience — not just at White Pocket, but throughout the entire journey. He showed me the best spots that only someone deeply familiar with the area could know. He also took amazing pictures of me at breathtaking hidden gems and the best photo spots. I will always recommend a tour with Ken to anyone visiting the area!
JC was an awesome guide...
JC was an awesome guide to White Pocket. He was easy to talk to, friendly, and very knowledgeable and informative. He knew the perfect spots for photo opportunities and was nice enough to take photos for me and the others in the group. I would highly recommend doing a tour with him. I’ll definitely book another tour next time I visit Kanab.
