Buffington Pockets is an area of exposed Aztec sandstone, along the north edge of the Muddy Mountains, 30 miles northeast of Las Vegas and a few miles southwest of Valley of Fire State Park. The sedimentary strata of the Pockets are very colorful, contrasting greatly with the dull grey shades of the surrounding hills. The rocks form a wide variety of shapes and eroded forms such as arches, pinnacles, alcoves and small-scale ridges and pockets.
