COORDINATES 36.955011, -111.893296 → Open in Maps Page 9 Trails of Page, Arizona & Grand Staircase–EscalanteWhite Pocket is one of the American Southwest's most extraordinary and photogenic geological formations — a landscape of swirling white, cream, and rust-red sandstone that looks like a painting. It sits on BLM land inside the Paria Canyon–Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The walk across the rock is easy; reaching it is not. A deep sand road requires a 4WD vehicle, deflated tires, and preferably a guide or experienced off-road driver. Permits have been proposed — check current BLM requirements before visiting. 10.
