TOUR OF WHITE POCKET
The real gem of the Vermilion Cliffs and surrounding area. Simply put, our
trip to White pocket will show you the most scenic place and most unusual geology in
this region. This is an 8-hour trip and you will leave having visited one of the most amazing places in all of the southwest of the US. The area of White Pocket on the Paria Plateau in
Northern Arizona is very impressive indeed! While many are lured and wait their turn to
visit the infamous “Wave” in the North Coyote Buttes, the “White Pocket” area to the
east is seldom visited. Maybe because of its remoteness or the requirement of 4WD to
access the area. The impressive White Pocket will fill the senses beyond imagination! The
drive to the swirling, twisted, multicolored natural artwork is an adventure in its own
right, and the exploration by foot is endless. “White Pocket” will surely become “top of the top” in the list of special places. This area has colors, shapes, and textures that are hard to beat. A trip to the White pocket is a memory of a lifetime.

Time spent will be for exploration and photography. Moderate hiking is involved, water and a sandwich is provided but we do encourage you to pack your own bag with water and items you may need while we are on tour.

Tour Duration: 8 Hours
5hrs of Total drive time (round-trip) and 3 hours on-site. We provide the transportation in our SUV(s), sit back and relax and take in the scenery.

Maximum group size 10 persons.
This Tour does not include Antelope Canyon, nor does it include “The Wave.”


TOUR OF BUCKSKIN GULCH

For the avid hiker. This hike does involve steep climbing up and down sandstone – which is also known as slick rock. Please know this is a rather demanding hike, with strong legs and strong ankles required. We explore the longest slot canyon known. Granted we may not have enough time to explore all 16 miles, but with 3 hours on-site, there is much to be discovered. Lunch & water please pack your own, we have emergency rations just in case.

Buckskin is very seasonal. We mainly offer tours from May 1st to June 30th, then again from Sept 1st to Oct 31st. You’re more than welcome to submit a request outside of those days, but all tours are weather dependent, as the Buckskin is prone to flooding year-round. This tour does not include Antelope Canyon.

We have two access points, two tail heads we can start the tour from.

Middle Entry is more of a challenge: The hike begins at the elevation of 5,100 ft and we hike down to 4,000 ft, the final 200 feet involves climbing down sandstone – most can do this without the aid of ropes but we will have a rope there just in case. The hike from where we park to the actual slot canyon is 1.3 miles (one-way), so be prepared for this, especially during the hotter seasons.

Wirepass Trailhead is a bit easier: The hike is flat-level for the most part, we do have to climb over a boulder or two, and this path has a higher chance of walking through water that can be as deep as 4 feet.

Both entry points run the risk of walking through water (not so much with Middle Entry).

Tour Duration: 7-8 Hours

Hiking Distance: up to 8 miles.
This Tour does not include Antelope Canyon, nor does it include “The Wave.”


North / South Coyote Buttes
