I Can't Believe It!

Located outside the Coyote Buttes management area and not currently requiring a permit to visit is a place called "The White Pocket," that many would argue exceeds "The Wave" for its unusual beauty.

We describe The White Pocket to others who have never seen it as “mounds of orange sherbert covered in vanilla ice cream.” Bleached out sandstone covers a layer of multi-hued, richly colored sandstone, usually in terra cotta, but sometimes pink, salmon, maroon and gold hues are to be found as visitors hike around this half square mile of the most unusual shapes, forms and colors you will ever see. The multiple variations in color and form are almost unbelievable.

Pictured here is a group of highly eroded and convoluted shapes that seem to add to the mystical nature of this place.
