Private White Pocket Expedition: A Journey into Vermilion Cliffs
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
White Pocket is a place so remote and amazingly unique that it can feel like you have stepped into another realm where geology decided to bend the rules. White Pocket can appear visually breathtaking while leaving the viewer somewhat perplexed.
Located out on the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in far Northern Arizona, White Pocket is very different from South Coyote Buttes that is itself very distinct from Buckskin Gulch. These 3 excursions make the perfect "Earth showcase" combination if you stay in the area for a few days. Getting to White Pocket requires high clearance vehicles and 4x4 driving, as you need to take some rough and sandy back roads that lead deep into the Paria Plateau. Through pinion pine and juniper forests on the way, you will distinguish Bryce Canyon in the distance and discover the highest plateau in the Western hemisphere, the Aquarius Plateau, towering at more than 11,300 feet & composing the highlands of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.

The Wave and White Pocket

5.00Three of us used Seeking Treasure Adventures to see the Wave and White Pocket via a private tour. Our guide Jim was incredible! I had a laundry list of 2⁰ sites to see near the Wave. I was hoping we could see 3 - 4 of about seven that I had on my list. Jim not only took us to all seven ... but also shared some interesting geological information about the areas we visited and showed us a few Native American artifacts (including pictographs and pectroglyphs). He also took on us routes that we would not have attempted on our own. We were ALL thrilled with how Jim expanded our comfort zones. Thank you!
Beautiful adventure in Vermillion Cliffs.

5.00We had an awesome day exploring South Coyote Butte with Jim. He was knowledgeable and fun with a great sense of adventure and encouragement for our love of the area. We climbed and hiked to our heart’s content while learning about the topography and history of ancient peoples. Loved seeing the dinosaur footprints. Very enjoyable tour and we would highly recommend.
Gorgeous place

5.00This tour was well worth it. The location is about a 2 hour off road drive from the highway. George did a great job getting us there. The landscape is unlike any we have ever seen before.

5.00100000000/10 I would recommend this tour anyone and highly recommend a guide for this area. Expect a bit of a car ride with amazing scenery and off roading through sand. Expect expert knowledge of the area. Expect unreal scenery with out of this world views. Kids 7-10 years old absolutely loved it. Great photo ops I cannot praise the tour offered to us by Yermo and George enough. They went above and beyond with our entire group (4 adults, 5 kids). They met us at our interests and abilities. They are so knowledgeable and well known in the area. We truly had the expert! Per the 10 yo “it was experience of a lifetime.” I have not been to the wave but have been told this is superior. If you are reading this then that means you are considering it - my advice is to book it!! You will not be disappointed. To Yermo and George, thanks for an incredible day we will never forget and the new friendship. Cheers to hoping cross paths again! People like you make vacations great.

5.00Vast majority of vehicles can't reach this remote, amazing area. We went through Seeking Treasure Adventures and were VERY fortunate to be aligned Jim Loyd. He provided great narrative of White Pocket history and was attuned to the fact we are in very god shape. Our tour was designed accordingly. Going to White Pocket was a great experience for us. We would highly recommend both the company and guide we used
