Description
The Whitney Pocket area features wind-sculptured colorful sandstone, scenic hiking, and Native American petroglyphs From American Southwest Net: There are many prominent outcrops of deep red eroded sandstone in the hills and desert surrounding Lake Mead, including various places either side of SSR 167, Northshore Road, and quite extensive formations in the Valley of Fire State Park. One location less well known is the Whitney Pocket area, which has several high mounds rising starkly above the flat plains of the Mojave Desert northeast of the lake. The pocket is located on BLM land close to I-15 (25 miles away) so could be a good overnight stopping place for those on cross-country journeys though this region has much else to offer with onward routes to the south passing near old mines, petroglyphs, a ghost town (Gold Butte), the eroded formations of Little Finland and many tracks leading to the little visited eastern shoreline of Lake Mead, and also several roads to the east, entering the even less frequented lands of Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument in Arizona.
