About This Trail

White Pocket is located geographically in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona and geologically on the Colorado Plateau. The Navajo Sandstone is exposed on the plateau as mounds and ridges. These are mostly reddish erosional remnants, but those remnants in White Pocket are blanketed with a white layer appearing as "Cauliflower Rock". This white layer makes this area unique and thus being called the White Pocket.
