On the border of Arizona and Utah lies a remote plateau, rising several thousand feet above the plains beneath.
This is Paria Plateau, home of the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument.

Hidden there, in the web of sandy 4x4 roads, lies a natural wonder, typically referred to as "Coyote Buttes South".

It is also known as the White Pocket.

4K UHD version finally processed.

OMG, Darth that is such spectacular footage.    The sandstone formations at White Rock are quite bizarre.  That definitely looks like a 4WD area to access but undoubtedly well worth the effort.

Going to watch this again once the 4K version processes.

Yes this place is something.
Weird, it says HD and 4K are still processing, but I watched it on TV last night and it looked ok. I wonder why does it say it's still processing, it's been like 12 hours....

Yeah, this place is still on the "hidden gems" list. I hope it remains that way, don't want to turn it into The Wave, where a permit would be required.

Yeah permits stink, when I went to Alaska yearly this year I was so excited to get some shots with my drone but everyone over there just as it out for drones, well at least Anchorage and Alyeska does which is we’re we went to go snowboarding.

I don't know what's wrong with it, it was sitting there for 16 hours last time, still blinking HD and 4K. hopefully, this time is better.

No probs.  YT is really slow when uploading anything above 1080P.

It's not uploading per se, it's the the processing.
The 2.5GB HD version was all done in about 15 minutes. The 5Gb 4K spend about same time doing SD, and now is sitting there trying to reencode HD and 4K. Super slow. I think they have a separate pipeline for 4K media, and it's overloaded.

Just watched the 4K version on my big screen TV and it was spectacular.  Well worth the wait on YT to process.
