Travel: Gold Butte National Monument (2 of 4)

Robert writes, "The first stop at the end of the only 'paved' section of the park is Whitney Pocket. It is a neat geological area, but sadly lays under the shadow of the Valley of Fire seen in the far off distance.
This area I believe is part of that same formation, but on a much smaller scale, or maybe sampling would be a better term. This Monument is a very large, off-roading type park and perhaps maybe worth the effort; but once you experienced the Valley of Fire, you get picky in choosing your adventures. At this juncture we pulled the plug, and braced for that 20 mile drive back to the Interstate."
