White Pockets, Arizona

White Pocket Mountain from my very "private" trailhead during sunrise (5:36 am).

I was there alone years ago and was afraid I would get stuck in the deep sand. So I parked my SUV above the critical slope that leads down to the official trailhead and hiked across country to White Pocket for about 20 minutes. In the morning around sunrise I had this beautiful view of the mountain, glowing in the first light from above.

On my second visit to the White Pocket Mountain area, I parked in a small bay above the treacherous sandy track and hiked from there to the beautiful rock formations in about 20 minutes. On the way through the desert across country you have the view as in the picture above.

 

Bei meinem 2. Besuch der White Pocket Mountain Gegend parkte ich oberhalb der tückischen Sandpiste in einer kleinen Haltebucht und wanderte von dort in rund 20 Minuten zu den herrlichen Felsformationen. Auf dem Weg durch die Wüste querfeldein hat man den Blick wie im Bild oben.

After exploring White Pocket for a few hours in the middle of the day, I went back to the jeep for a rest and a bite to eat. In the meantime high cirrus clouds moved in, so when I went out photowalking again towards sunset the light was soft.

A deep dig into the archive: when you could still spend 2 days completely alone in the vicinity of White Pocket ...

White Pocket was just a fascinating little spot in the desert. I truly felt like I’d stepped onto an alien world. Just an amazingly beautiful place!

For me, White Pocket in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is one of the most fascinating landscapes in the American Southwest, the colors of the sandstone there are unsurpassed.

 

White Pocket im Vermilion Cliffs National Monument ist für mich eine der faszinierensten Landschaften im Südwesten der USA, die Farben des Sandsteins dort sind unübertroffen.

Greater White Pocket area, very fragil, therefore without coordinates, hope you understand.

 

I was looking for another photospot when I suddenly stood in front of this slightly overhanging wall that shone in many warm and cold colors in the indirect light of the early afternoon. The wall is several meters high and about 20 meters wide. Apparently, wind and sand have cleared the rock layers over many years.

I'd seen pictures of White Pocket in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona from my flickr friends and decided I had to go there. I rented a 4WD vehicle in Page, Utah to get out there and it was expensive but definitely worth it to see this amazing place.

 

Wishing all my flickr friends health, happiness and lots of great photography in 2023.

A sunset view at White Pocket. The Sun was about to drop below the horizon while painting the Earth gold. The geology at this place is simply amazing.

One of the most fantastic place in the world located in Arizona.

I just got a few minutes of sunlight through a break in the clouds in the late afternoon at White Pocket in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument. Of course I was hoping for a nice sunset but that didn't happen the day I was there, so I may have to go back.

White Pocket, Vermillion Cliffs

White Pockets, Arizona. This is part of the Verrmillion National Monument site. This tree is not doing well because of the drought but it has tenacity growing out of this rock and has done so for many years.

A whopping 18 years ago today, in one of the most beautiful and remote landscapes of the southwestern USA.

 

Heute vor sage und schreibe 18 Jahren in einer der schönsten und abgelegensten Landschaften des Südwestens der USA.

What words could I conjure to adequately describe this? My heart raced with excitement, my senses ignited. That is the desert's allure. To be in such a place of barrenness and still feel the thrum of life.
