White Pocket

White Pocket is a remote desert expanse of Vermillion Cliffs National Monument near the Arizona/Utah border. Not for the unprepared. You will need to have a 4WD vehicle, preferably with high clearance. You’ll be driving through deep sandy roads for at least an hour and a half off the main House Rock Valley Road. Be sure to check the current conditions of the road at the BLM Office located at 745 East Highway 89.
