White Pocket Arizona in Vermilion Cliffs

White Pocket Arizona is one of the best things to do in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. This otherworldly landscape resembles the Wave hike in Utah and is famous for the brain rocks in Arizona.

White Pocket is located on the border between Utah and Arizona but just over the line on the Arizona side. It is difficult to reach but worth the drive or a tour if needed.

Here is everything you need to know to visit White Pocket Arizona.

Visiting White Pocket Arizona

When visiting White Pocket, one of the biggest reminders I can give is to remember to leave no trace. Anything you take in with you needs to leave with you.

Best Time to Visit White Pocket Arizona

Sunset was by far my favorite time of day to be at White Pocket. The lighting is stunning and the colors change as the sun drops in the sky.

Hiking White Pocket Arizona

There are no trails at White Pocket other than the short trail leading from the parking area to the first formations. This part of the trail is soft sand.

Best White Pocket Photography Spots

One of my favorite photo spots is an area that looks like a small pool in the middle of a cloud-like rock formation.

Another favorite spot is an area with the white rocks in the background but swirls of red and orange and white rock leading up to it.
