A couple of places come to mind, some already mentioned. Panhandles, plural. Middle of nowhere, New Mexico (then go eat @ Santa Fe for a few days. You've earned it.) Eastern Colorado is pretty miserable. One of my favorite fishing spots in Western Colorado deserves a mention for this quest, anyway. Grand Mesa. Biggest Flat top mountain I know of. Once you're up there, good small stream trout fishing everywhere you fling a rock. Bring your own food & drink, it's been several years but I remember it being mighty sparse out there. I didn't care, I was full of little pan-fried trout. [Reply]

I took your word for it and then I picked a random spot to put road level view in Navajo Nation on Google Maps. I saw a bunch of junk cars and 10-12 houses on the side of the road. [Reply]
I’ve got a bucket list item to camp at Havasupi falls Arizona.
Ten mile hike in, Native American land, crystal blue stream waters. You have to win a lottery to get a permit to go in. [Reply]

I was signed up pre-Covid, then it was canceled 2 seasons in a row... it's something like $350/night and highly recommended to spend another $400 on a pack mule. There are several strict rules about no booze, no music speakers, etc.
It took like a year to get refunded for that trip and 3 years after booking, and still had to find someone to sell to first... and no refund on the mule, so out the $400 for that.
Unless they've changed it, you can sign up on their website in February... took me a few hours one morning as I'd select a date and their shitty site would timeout and you'd have to start the process over.

400 bucks to rent a mule sounds a little steep. Pretty sure you could buy one for that but maybe the 400 is to take it off your hands when you’re done [Reply]

Yeah I was ready to reserve spots back in January but my crew decided 2025 was a better year to commit. I think the pass is $425 for the three nights. [Reply]
