New! White Pocket Guided Tour  

East Zion Adventures is excited to introduce our brand-new White Pocket Guided Hike in collaboration with Jacob’s Outpost. This full-day guided adventure from Kanab takes you off the beaten path to explore the surreal landscapes of the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Northern Arizona where white, red, orange, and pink sandstone meet. If you’re looking to add a unique experience to your Zion National Park adventure, this is it!

About the White Pocket Hike

White Pocket isn’t your typical desert landscape. The amazing scenery and unique mix of red and white sandstone, vibrant hues, and intricate rock formations make it one of the most photogenic spots in the entire southwest. Think the Wave, but without the wait! There’s no permit lottery required for this exclusive East Zion Adventures guided hike. This photographer’s heaven rivals the famous (but difficult to access) Wave in size, variety, and complexity. In partnership with Jacob’s Outpost, we bring you to the heart of these formations, making it the ideal way to discover the wonders of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.

You’ll depart from Station 89 in Kanab on a rugged hummer built to tackle the rough dirt roads that lead to White Pocket. Settle in for the scenic, 2.5-hour drive from Kanab while your experienced guides share stories, local history, and insights into the geology that makes this area so unique.

What to Expect 

After an exhilarating backcountry ride, the real adventure begins. You’ll be mesmerized by wavy ridges, intricate twists, water pockets, and brain-like bulges that still mystify geologists. White Pocket is one of those rare places where every step reveals a new angle, color, or texture, so be sure to bring your camera—there’s no shortage of breathtaking sights and photo opps. 

What to Bring on the White Pocket Tour 

White Pocket is a full-day adventure so come prepared. We recommend packing a lunch and snacks for the road, and be sure to bring plenty of water. Wear sturdy shoes that can handle slick rock and possible mud. In the fall and winter, layers are key—hats, gloves, extra socks, and warm jackets will keep you comfortable while you’re exploring the trails.
