#VermillionCliffsWhitePocket
Absolutely stunning! The earth is a canvas. The wind, sun and water the tools as God creates a masterpiece for our eyes to behold. Watching this you cannot help but be in awe at how this all was formed. What a treasure. Incredible footage, editing and accompanying music as always. You are becoming quite masterful in presenting these gems mu friend
Wow, Jymn, that comment was "sermon worthy" for Sunday morning! Amen!!! Always inspired by your continued encouragement!
You definitely got off the beaten path for this video! I have had the honor of spending two complete days wandering around Paw Hole. Not having a 4WD I parked on House Rock Road and hiked the two miles in. One of those days I hiked up in the dark to get there for sunrise. Then on the other day after catching the sunset I hiked back in the dark. In 2012 we got to White Pockets. We hauled a 4WD vehicle all the way from St George to get over the SANDY roads. At the end of our day of exploring there was a solar eclipse! Getting back to our trailer it was in darkness and there were hundreds/dozens of jack rabbits continuously jumping in front of our headlights.
Wow, Harry, what a great story! Enjoyed reading about your national park memories!
The drone shots turned out awesome! Such a stunning place with all the twist and turns in the rocks. Looks like you had a blast!
Yeah, bucket lust stuff! Thanks for joining us!
Excellent video. This area is absolutely beautiful and your video did it great justice. I have to say, the editing and music and timing were simply perfect and left me hoping the video was longer. Great job bringing this to us all. Hope you are having a wonderful week.
Hey, thanks for the very encouraging comment! All the best, my friend!
Thank you so much Randy for taking your viewers to such an Amazing and Inspiring place. This planet is so beautiful and we certainly serve a Mighty GOD !! ... Robin :-)
Right on, Robin! Have a blessed Lord's Day!
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing! It was really good that you shared this extra info provided by the tour guide!
Great to hear, Chris! The guide, "Cash," was such a blessing that day. Have a great Thanksgiving!
What a beautiful, fun, and exhilarating day! Your guide was top-notch. Thank you for sharing this with us. Take care always!
Thanks, James! Agree with you assessment on the guide. We were so thankful for him!
Ohh wow!! What breathtaking landscape!!!
Thanks - wild area (a square mile) in the middle of the desert.
Glad you guys got to experience White Pocket! One of my all time favorite spots to go to.
Hey Jason, happy to hear you've enjoyed this gem! So special! Have a blessed week! Also... not sure if you saw the comment I left on one of your videos - the Nemo Disco 15 was a FANTASTIC recommendation!!!! Really enjoying it.
Heavenly sculpture garden...lovely!
Amen to that! :)
This is amazing! New Bucket List item unlocked ! I'm definitely going to do this!
This look like an overall great tour to do! The the ride there looked freaking awesome! The fact you were able to use your done here was great! You definitely got some great great drone shots in this video! The colors and rock patterns were just amazing 👏. Really awesome video Randy! You definitely outdid yourself on this one!
Thanks for all your very kind words, Eric! Great place - nice to know you believe we did it justice!
Wow. Absolutely gorgeous shots. The rock formations are all so unique and incredible!
Yeah, this is really a unique place out in the Utah desert all by itself! Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words!
Yes stunning! Thanks for this video!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I wish I was checking out White Pocket in person, amazing scenery and the drive out looked awesome fun too. Superb weather for October (well, in the UK anyway) and the rock formations around Randy's Cap were awesome! Great to have your own tour guide, great footage and great drone flight as well, cheers Alan
Thanks for the meaningful words, Alan! It was really a special day. Have a super week!
Incredible job as always, Randy!
Much appreciated, Steve! Enjoy your week!
Fantastic video. Best one yet.
Much appreciated, Frank!
Wow that place is absolutely gorgeous! The rock formations out there are incredible would love to see that place one day! So unique looking. Really like that picture at the end! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks, Nick! Highly recommended... great company to go with as well!
This gives me even more confidence that as our major parks become overwhelmed with popularity, there are still gems that can be explored in near solitude. We've been past here several times, but will add this to our list for next time. Thanks for sharing, particularly the insight from the guide. Safe travels... Tony
Right on, Tony! This is such a gem and the difficulty reaching it really helps weed out the crowds. Enjoy your week!
Stunning place! Thx for sharing
Much appreciated Diego!
Wow, out of this world. Such amazing and beautifully strange textures. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video! What a great tour guide too! "You're not gonna hold that thing up superman" lol
Thanks, Darren! Yeah, really appreciated his knowledge, patience and kindness that day. Take care!
Long time subscriber to your channel. I love all your videos but this is by far your best one yet.
Thanks for the personal feedback! Encouraged to read your words!
That looks amazing!
So cool that the remoteness and need for a 4x4 really weeds out the people. Take care!
Another great adventure! Such a beautiful country that we have the privilege to live in
Good words, Lamont! Thanks for joining us!
The swirls in the colors was amazing. I like the Trident. Almost like an optical illusion walking up some of those hills.
So special out there, Julie!
Gorgeous work Mr Randy 👍🏻
Much appreciated, Mark!
Wow !! Awesome job again Randy . Now I want to be here on my 59th bday next month.thanls again for sharing.
You'd love it., Christine! ...and have a great birthday!
easily the best WP vid i've seen.....love those drone captures of the whole area, nicely done
Really encouraged by your kind words, Thom! Enjoy your week!
WOW! Such a dramatic place. I've never even HEARD of this place before until I viewed your fantastic content on it. You're taking me places I've only dreamed about seeing. GREAT drone footage. You're a real pro with that drone. Thanks....thanks....thanks!!!!
Encouraged to read your kind words! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
Awesome video👍That is a great area🌟Great shotsall around Randy✨
Thanks for joining us, Brooke!
Stunning video. 😍 awesome
Thanks so much, Darlene!
Amazing videos… very informative… thanks for sharing😀😀😀
Really appreciate your kind words!
White Pocket is an amazing place. I drove there in a 4X4 and camped. It is awesome at sunrise & sunset. Great video!
Cool, Mike... must have been awesome to see the sunrise/set out there pretty much all by yourself! Special area!
Mike, did you have any difficulty getting there? I've looked at the BLM map and the only place they warn of deep sand is just past the Paw Hole trailhead going east. That's not on the most direct route to White Pocket, and even if you want to go to Paw Hole, you can backtrack out of there and a take a loop to go to White Pocket. I'm thinking I should be able to make it in a Toyota 4Runner with 4WD and high clearance, but will check with the BLM office in Kanab on current conditions and the routes before I go. My plan would also be to car camp there overnight.
That was awesome, will have to book a tour!
Thanks... worth every penny! The guide we had was named, "Cash." Outstanding!
I passed Rock House Valley Rd in 2017 on my way to Cliff Dwellers Lodge on my second to last day of a trip to Southern Utah and northern Arizona. I knew about the White Pocket but had neither the time nor the right vehicle to check it out. Just driving by the Vermillion Cliffs was impressive but your tour has certainly given me the desire to return to the area. Thanks a "vermillion!"
"Vermillion" :) Definitely a special place to visit, but you surely need the right vehicle. Take care!
Wow! I didn't know this place existed. It is now on my futures travel's list, has always thank you for sharing.
Great to hear! One of the most beautiful places I've seen!
Amazingly unique patterns in the rock! Your 360 camera really helped capture those stark chiseled landscapes, too! Very cool!
Right on, Mark! Was totally pleased with the 360 cam. Enjoy your week!
I will be going next week to say I am excited is an understatement I can't wait!!!!!!
Hope you had a great trip!
Amazing
Thanks much, John!
Hello America's Park's😊😊😊, White Pocket is ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR...AMAZING!! I sure wish I was out there. Randy, really enjoyed this video. Got me thinking about checking the place out next time I'm in northern Arizona and Southern Utah...oh yeh, White Pocket is very close to😊😊😊😊...Rainbow Bridge, National Monument! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
So worth it, Al! Drove by this place several times and never knew it existed. Enjoy your week!
😳 that’s amazing!
Thanks for watching, Karen!
Hey Randy... a fine video with excellent sound track and commentary...looks like you were way off the beaten track...And seems like a guide with the appropriate vehicle was the best bet...The White Pockets was amazing.... you drove a long time and all of a sudden....there it was... All the best from Hank and Pam of South Texas
It was really a privilege to visit this one! With the 4x4 needed for clearance and sandy trails and the maze of trails in the desert, a guide was most helpful. It was also especially great to have someone with us knowledgable of the area. Thanks for joining us Hank and Pam!
Awsome sledgehammered that like button stay safe awesome and blessed enjoyed and shared
Much appreciated, my friend! Have a blessed weekend!
Each time I watch your videos I add another line to my to-do list.
Happy I can provide you with some special places to explore!
Superbly superb and amazingly amazing..
Nothing at all anywhere near as superbly superb in the UK..
Thankyou for sharing..
Glad you enjoyed it! All the best from the US!
Great job of capturing the experience with the Razors from Kanab Tour. Company. As noted, the ride out and back was worth the cost and then White Pockets just topped it off!. We did this in October 2021. We've rented Razors twice from them....they are amazing machines as noted in the video. Wonderful way to spend a day in Utah/Arizona. Thanks for the video - it brings back good memories!
Great words! We went back last year and toured the South Coyote Buttes with them again. Fantastic company! Glad you enjoyed the video!
This one is on my list this next year sometime. Very close to my state of Utah. The wave is amazing. Can't wait to see.
0 for 3 on my Wave permit! :) Yeah, just across the border of Utah into AZ. Man, I love it out there!
Absolutely awesome. It's paradise of photographers. Congratulations from Brasil!
Right on, Silvio! All the best to you!
Wow what a beautiful place and the colors! Someone else did a recent video on Vermilion Cliffs and it’s getting very tempting to plan a trip to Utah next fall, I have a Jeep XJ and I could drive there. Thanks for the video.
Highly recommended, Steve! So much cool stuff out there!
It's on my bucketlist
Excellent... was worth every penny!
Utah never ceases to amaze with its fantastic rock formations. It almost feels like you left Earth at times! Another great video Randy!
Hey Andy, really enjoyed this place! Another gem, like you said, in Utah. Take care!
Also, watched the Southern Idaho video again last night. We really packed it in with the 5 stops you recommended. What a great day!
@@AmericasParks It was a blast! We really did cover a lot of ground in one day. My daughter and I still talk about how much fun we all had!
Its Arizona idiot, you can leave from the Utah side but yall are dumbasses if you think vermillion cliffs/white pocket is in utah
My understanding is White Pocket is actually in Arizona though the best way to get there is from Kanab, Utah.
Spectacular
Thanks for watching!
wow this place is a real stunner and what a fun way to get there !! we had not heard of this one thanks so much for showing us around
Great to have you joining us, Thorn!
You'd love it there bud!
@@HuckOutdoors right? might have to rent one of those sXs someday... the colors are unreal
Awesome
Right on! This was such a memorable trip!. Thanks for watching!
I always watch your great videos. I remember you guys doing Peekaboo and spooky slot canyons. We visited Joshua Tree National park last week, next time you guys are there you have to do the Chasm of Doom!! It would be fun watching that.
Appreciate the kind words! And thanks for the recommendation... made a note! Glad you had a great time at JT!
Fantastic place.beautiful dron shot views awesome 👍 excellent 👌 stay connected in touch nice day 🙏💐🤗😆😆
Appreciate your kind words! Hope you have a super weekend!
White Pocket is one of the most uniquely beautiful places I've ever visited.
Right on! Glad to hear you've experienced this gem!
Superb video Randy! Great camera work in this one and excellent editing. Loved the interlacing of the standard camera shots with the drone and the extended selfie stick.
Vermillion Cliffs is an incredible area. So unique, so much to explore, and so stunning. Definitely one of the top areas that I have had the privilege to visit. White Pocket is beautiful but my vote still goes to Coyote Buttes North. It’s worth the hassle and years of permit rejection. Definitely lives up to the hype and it is also so much more than The Wave. If you can scramble to the top of the butte, there are several really beautiful features (Melody Arch, The Alcove, and Top Rock Arch).
Maybe I am getting ahead of myself and you did win a permit on this trip?!?!
Hey Michael, thanks so much! Yeah, 0 for 3 on the permit for the north buttes. Really would like to hit both the north and south sections of coyote buttes in my lifetime. Enjoy your weekend!
@@AmericasParks keeping trying my friend. I was like 0 for 40 to 50. Have a great weekend as well!
We were just a few weeks ago at Coyote Butte South which is right next to White Pocket. We hired a guide too because of the road. The whole process started with trying to get permits to the Wave but were not successful, so we applied for permits for Coyote Butte South and were successful to get 2 of the 20 permits allowed per day. If you return you have to go to Coyote Butte South. We also spent a half day at Wire Pass a beautiful slot canyon that leads into Buckskin Gulch the longest slot in the world. The parking for that was about half way to White Pockets.
Hey Jerry, nice to hear of your love for this area! I am 0-3 on Wave permits, but do have the south buttes in focus. We were able to hit Buckskin via Wire Pass as well on this trip. Believe we went about 5 miles into the canyon. So amazing! Take care!
Absolutely stunning drone aerial footage! Now that had to have been such a jarring bumpy ride in the jeep!
Ohhhhh And I loved the evil Knievel helmet. lolol
Thanks! Actually, the big shocks took the bumps much better than I expected. The worst was the low temps on the way out. Inadequate clothing and totally froze! :)
It caught my eye the moment I walked in! lol!
Randy, this terrain reminds me of Canyonlands N.P. Also, last year on the vacation I took out west, I stopped for a 4WD tour (my 1st.) on the back side of nowhere near Vail, CO, I also was able to drive a Razor.
So much fun driving one of those machines. They took the "bumps" much better than I had expected. Take care!
Bucketlist!!
A worthy addition! :)
Wow
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for bringing to our attention God’s breathtaking handiwork Randy!
Amen... our purpose in life! :)
I have watched many white pocket videos, but this is the best one ! Tease us with the name of the next location ? God Bless you and peace be upon you. Amen.
Hey brother, thank you! Have about 9 more uploads from this trip. Thinking of talking you back to Zion NP. Hope you'll enjoy it!
Enjoyed the video! White Pocket is a fascinating place, and you don’t need a permit to explore it. If you are looking for an incredible place to video or photograph, this is the place.
Right on! Glad to hear you have enjoyed this incredible place!
I have seen a local tour guide advising people not to try to drive to White Pocket on their own because it's so easy to get stuck in deep sand, but based on the BLM map of the area I don't see why I would have any problem getting there in a Toyota 4Runner with high clearance and 4 wheel drive. The only area where the BLM warns of deep sand is on 1079 just past the entry to Paw Hole, going east. It looks like if you either skip Paw Hole or backtrack from it and take a loop of several other roads you can get to White Pocket without going through any heavy sand areas. But I'll check with the Kanab BLM office when I'm there in October to go over the map and get their advice based on current road conditions. I'll take a tour if I have to, but would prefer to do it on my own and car camp overnight near White Pocket to see and photograph it in late afternoon and early morning light.
Sounds like a good plan, Don. Being on your own would give you much more flexibility and of course save a lot of money. I've heard the same, but if you have a good map and believe your vehicle can handle to roads (we hade absolutely no issues), you should be fine. Enjoy!
we did it in a 2008 Jeep Liberty 4x4 with a 2.5" lift kit.
AZ and UT landscape is a must for any hiker, mountain biker....any kind of traveller! Just love all there is to see and do there! Randy do you make it a must to visit southern UT and northern AZ every year?
Good taste, Ephraim! Yeah, do hit that area often - so much to see elsewhere, but still so much to still see out there! :) One of my favorite places to visit.
thanks for an awesome tour :)
When did you film this? Was it first days of November (assuming by the publish date...) ?
Appreciate that! We were there on October 22.
Stuning video, great quality with good music choice !
What's the compagny name for the rental ?!
These are the guys we went with - Kanab Tour Company (highly recommended): kanabtourcompany.com
@@AmericasParks 👌🏼 thx
Curious...were you guys going north on House Rock rd from 89A or south on House Rock rd from 89? It looks like your going north to me, which I don't understand since it looks like Kanab would be closer to the 89 end of House Rock..🤷♂️
You are the man, Dwayne... great observation! The footage was actually taken on our way back to the beginning on the north end. Didn't have any footage from the way out and wanted to end the video at White Pocket itself. Impressive catch!!!
Great ending to the video 📹, what's the tour guide company?
Highly recommended! Here you go: Kanab Tour Company: kanabtourcompany.com
Real life Candyland! Can it be accessed by private car or do you need a guide?
Definitely need high clearance and the right vehicle for the deep sand. A guide is also most helpful, but not required. Thanks!
Think Biology… extremely large biology 😊
Thanks for watching!
How far did you hike and how long time wise?
Once you get there, the hiking is minimal as the area is only about 1 square mile. We spent about 2-3 hours walking around the site.
Randy, do you need a permit to access white pocket for the day?
No, just the right vehicle to get out there.
This was the backup to the wave morning of lottery? Did you book this the same day. Gonna try and replicate since we didnt win the lottery last month😔
Can't remember how I presented it, but this trip was booked as a stand-alone. Out backup to the Wave was Willis Creek Slot Canyon and Kodachrome SP. As for White Pocket - these guys did a great job: Kanab Tour Company: kanabtourcompany.com
@@AmericasParks ahhh yes, thats right, mixing your videos up, so many great ones, im getting mixed up, thanks Randy!!
Does it require a permit?
No permit needed for this one, unlike the local north and south coyote buttes.
Just 3:
W.O.W. W.O.W. W.O.W.!!!
Right on, Mark! Such a great time!
Az strip baby. House Rock Road is best way in. Go up Kaibab Plateau to Jacob Lake then down to House Rock Vermillion Cliffs.
House rock road can have bad washouts. Past Vermillion Cliff conder view. Eventually you can cut up cliffs via road.
Parashant is huge.
Let's collab!! Seriously. How can we not??? Put your Colorado where your mouth is....
Will keep it in mind. You've got some good stuff on your channel!
Looks like a giant lump of fossilized flesh with some scales still attached to it in places, left over and exposed from Noah's great flood in : Genesis 7
Love the biblical reference, Caroline! Definitely a unique place!
Y’all are legit climbing on extremely massive muscle. Almost looks like a stomach was there or something. If you look up what stomach lining looks like.
Pretty much every Geological wonder of the world can be solved using Anatomy.
Unbelievable I know. Mythology is more Reality than we think
Absolutely! God is an amazing creator! Thanks for the comment!
Please stop telling people about this place. Next thing you know, they're going to make you get a permit to go there.
Hear and appreciate your heart, but those days are long gone once social media arrive. Thankfully the place is not accessible to most people.
