White Pocket
Brain-coral sandstone with no permit lottery
The Wave’s wilder, weirder neighbor — a swirl of cauliflower-textured white and red sandstone in the Vermilion Cliffs that needs no lottery permit, only a serious sand road to reach it. Most people hire a guide; the reward is otherworldly and uncrowded.
The shot
Swirled “brain rock” at golden hour.
