Unlike the world famous “Wave” at North Coyote Buttes, White Pocket doesn’t require winning the extremely hard to get Coyote Buttes permit. The multi-colored sandstone swirls are every bit as dramatic as what you’ll find at the “Wave” though.

Photography Tips

Great sunrise/sunset location. Perfect timing would be a week or so after rainfall when the water pockets are full (and after the dirt and deep sand road has dried out a bit).

Travel Information

Directions - From House Rock Valley Road, turn east on Corral Valley Road BLM 1017 (Pine Tree Road), then head north at Pine Tree Pocket up 1087, then take 1086 the rest of the way to White Pocket. A high clearance 4WD is required to get there. Anything else WILL GET STUCK.
