White Pockets

White Pockets is a very unique area of rock formations some times referred to as brain rocks. Much of the area looks as if it’s from a bakery shop and swirled with icing candy. Apart from the soft hills and the brainrocks there are also lots of interesting structures and colors. The sandstone offers the opportunity for some very promising "close ups". From the west edge of the plateau there is a splendorous view far across the Grand Staircase and on clear days with high visibility one can even figure out the pink cliffs of Bryce Canyon.

While walking across the plateau you'll discover some old reservoirs originally built by ranchers to provide their cattle with water during times of drought. There are still some visible cowtrails on the slickrock. These and the natural pools are filled with water during the monsoon season and winter months giving excellent opportunities to shoot some interesting reflections. As the afternoon progresses, the colors become better and better.

The impressive White Pocket will fill the senses beyond imagination! The drive to the swirling, twisted, multicolored natural artwork is an adventure in its own right, and the exploration by foot is endless. Whether spending just a couple of hours or an entire weekend, "White Pocket" will surely become "top of the top" in the list of special places. This area has colors, shapes and textures that are hard to beat, but remember that it is an extremely fragile environment and the utmost care should be taken to preserve this place. Tread lightly and make it a point to see if you can leave the area without anyone ever having known that you were there. Stay on the slickrock when possible, but be careful not to snap off thin fins and don't trample the delicate vegetation between the small mounds of beautiful stone. This area should, and can be, saved for any and all that visit in the future.
