Experiencing the fantastic geology called White Pocket is a journey onto one of the most bizarre landscapes on earth. Increasingly one of the more popular hiking and photo destinations in the area with world famous photographic opportunities.

We will hike you through the entire area, showing you all the best viewpoints and photogenic locations. We know the place very well and can guide photographers to the best shooting opportunities at the time of day for the best light.

It is easy hiking, only a 5 minute walk onto White Pocket, where you can wander for 1 to 3 miles. It’s not steep but somewhat uneven, so if you have balancing issues we recommend hiking poles.

We’re the closest to White Pocket, and it still takes an hour and forty minutes to get there in our Suburban ending up on a sandy, 4×4 high-clearance only track through the Vermilion Cliffs Monument. A trip to White Pocket with us gives you almost 2 hours more hiking time as we are located 5 minutes from the unpaved road to White Pocket as compared to a 45 minute highway drive each way from Kanab, where most tour companies operate out of.

If there’s still time in the evening we can visit an Anasazi petroglyph panel or take a scenic drive to show you a little more of the unbelievably beautiful Vermilion Cliffs.

Our knowledgable guides will provide assistance, information, explanations and advice about the entire area. There is much to see here that you can visit on your own and we’ll try to help you all we can to explain distances, road conditions, and photo opportunities to help maximize your enjoyment of the entire area.

In short, we’ll  do the very best we can to show you a great day. That is not a statement, it is a promise!

TESTIMONIALS

GUIDING AS IT SHOULD BE

Steve brought us (parents with adult daughter) out for a full day at White Pocket. The ride out is spectacular and Steve shared an array of information about the land and people. Steve is a masterful guide, pointing you in the direction, but then letting you discover what is around the next rock or bend. He leads from behind which is a real art! Everytime I thought “Now this is the best or most amazing view or rock formation” we would travel a little farther and I would be blown away yet again. If you stood at the parking area you would think it is an interesting place, but Steve took us into the very soul of White Pocket. Susan packed us a wonderful lunch to fuel the nearly 6 miles of walking we did. Thanks to Steve and Susan this guided experience was THE highlight of our trip. We also appreciated Steve’s recommendations for other places to visit and ways we could do some more remote exploring, which we prefer, on a future trip.

SIDESTEP CANYON

If you’re a good hiker hike the three miles or so to see largely unvisited SIDESTEP CANYON, a giant green-colored valley full of literally hundreds of balanced rocks, from 3 feet tall to 150 feet tall. Great for viewing a spectacular example of unique geology and excellent photographic opportunities.

NORTH COYOTE BUTTES & SOUTH COYOTE BUTTES

The famous NORTH COYOTE BUTTES or SOUTH COYOTE BUTTES. IF you can be in Kanab, Utah at 9 a.m., try the North Coyote Buttes  Wave Lottery at the Kanab BLM visitor Center on Highway 89, or be there at 10 a.m. to try for a permit to the South Coyote Buttes, which, though less known, is easily as good or perhaps even better than the famous “Wave” that everyone wants. It’s easier to get this permit as well. However, only ten permits are available for each area per day at the Visitor Center. Permits are issued for the next day.
