white pocket hiking trail

Trailhead

White Pocket

  • Great opportunities for unusual landscape pictures
  • Custom tour only - minimum of 4
  • 2-3 miles of hiking
  • Not a physically demanding hike
  • Enclosed SUV vehicles used
  • 5 out of 10 skill level required
  • $199/person and $269 for photo

This is a remote destination requiring a 2-2:30 hour drive each way over deep sand and 4x4 roads. Sitting at around 6000 feet White Pockets is cooler than most areas of the Vermilion Cliffs and with its shorter hiking distances, this is one of our easier trips physically. The White Pocket area is designed more for customers interested in landscape photography than hiking so this would not be the first choice if you want to explore longer inside the Vermilion Cliffs. Tour time is around 7 hours.

Water Hike

Water Canyon

  • Views of Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
  • Availability Monday, Wednesday, Friday
  • 8 out of 10 skill level required

This is a great option if you are unable to secure one of the few permits to North Coyote Buttes. A more remote and longer hike than going to the Coyote Buttes version of wave rock but much more diverse. The total hike distance can be about 10 miles and 2000 vertical feet. This is not technical in any way but you should not be a beginner hiker and attempt this trail. Drive time from Kanab or St George is around 1 hour and the total tour time is about 7 hours.
