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
I recently took the White Pocket Adventure tour, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide, Clayton, was outstanding from start to finish. The drive to White Pocket involves extremely rough roads, but Clayton expertly navigated the terrain, making the journey as smooth as possible. Safety was clearly a priority for him, and he was very cautious throughout the trip. He also made sure everyone was comfortable by providing several opportunities for restroom breaks along the way. When we finally arrived, it honestly felt like stepping onto another planet. The landscape is unlike anything I've ever seen—the beauty is absolutely out of this world. Clayton offered to take photos for us and came up with some really creative and fun picture ideas. He even helped film a family TikTok video and was completely supportive of all our shenanigans! He was also very flexible, allowing our group to go as far as everyone felt comfortable while still encouraging us to see all the must-visit spots. His patience and understanding were especially appreciated by some members of our group who were a little more nervous than others. If you have the opportunity to do this tour, I highly recommend doing it. It's an unforgettable experience.
This tour is WELL worth the time and money! You will not regret going!
This was a favorite and spectacular to see. Jeremey was out guide and did a wonderful job. Very informative and it was a real pleasure to have him as our guide! I would strongly recommend this tour! A natural marvel to say the least!
Excellent venue. Awesome tour operator
Family owned and operated tour business. Our guide Tim, was polite, very knowledgeable, affable, and an excellent off-road chauffeur! White pocket is a special place. That’s all I’m going to say. Go see it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
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.
