Lone Tree - White Pocket - Vermilion Cliffs - Arizona
Artist: Brian Morganti
White Pocket is a remote location with truly amazing rock colors and formations that sees little foot traffic. But it does take some time and effort to get there. After reaching House Rock Valley Road 39 miles east of Kanab Utah, I first travel south about 20 miles. House Rock Valley Road is a rough, wash-boarded road that is prone to washouts. The last leg of my trip into White Pocket is only 16 miles, but it took me 90 minutes to complete! A high-clearance 4x4 is necessary as I had to drive through very deep sand via series of one lane trails. There are no services nor any cell phone signals and no signs to lead the way. I was truly on my own should something go wrong. But again, the colorful and twisted rock formations along with a high solitude factor of this remote place made this a photographic adventure to long be remembered.
One of my last photos of the day was of this lone tree silhouetted by the setting sun. A foreground of strange looking "folded blanket" rock formations added an unworldly feel to this place.
