This is all good stuff you're all writing. I have thought about Goblin Valley.
Interesting that Moab is getting crowded. Is it as bad as Durango? I couldn't believe how big that town got.
Two votes for staying in Bluff as opposed to Mexican Hat. Is that because Bluff is so good or is Mexican Hat bad?
I photograph things that interest me visually. So it depends on what things look like when I'm there. I'll take a landscape if I like it, rocks, junk, maybe even people. I'm not trying to duplicate any photos I've seen, that's not my thing. I don't have a photographic agenda, so maybe that's what's difficult for you to relate to in terms of discussing where to go etc. Abstract I know. I don't want crowds, or a managed approach. More like a shotgun approach. My idea is to have a lot of options so that if something isn't right for a photo, I can move on. It's about photography but it's also about a journey and being on the road.
The internet is kind of amazing in that one can find out so much about these remote spots. But, at the same time, I get to read all these lame reviews of restaurants (even the Cow Canyon Cafe) on how the salad wasn't perfect or they only had one kind of wine by people who have no idea where they are or what life is like where they are at..
Bisti Badlands sounds interesting, I'll investigate that as well.
