White Pocket is an area on the Paria Plateau in Northern Arizona. While many are lured and wait their turn to visit the infamous “Wave” in the North Coyote Buttes, this area t is seldom visited because of the requirement of 4WD to access the area. This area has colors, shapes, and textures that are hard to beat.
A pocket 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.
