I especially liked the images from Rattlesnake Canyon. There is a lot of potential there.

I am heart-broken.............If any place deserved NOT to be featured nationally, it was Rattlesnake Canyon. All the other places can handle literally THOUSANDS of people a day. Poor little RSC is short (less than 3/8 of a mile), extremely narrow, and best seen in groups of less than 5 people (including the guide)......meaning that it can actually accomodate a handful of folks each day. 4 morning, 4 sunset and maybe 12 during the rest of the day. Ah, well, another neat place outed and soon to be ruined by over-demand. At least there is some hope that the families controlling access will do that -- control access --. I remember only too well what happened to Big Sheep Canyon after Peter Lik popularized it on TV a few years back.

I absolutely agree with you on this. Some places should not be publicized. I have a few of my own that I refuse to take anyone to or tell anyone about. The only reason I put this link here was because, if it was already out there, I would rather a few people here have a shot at it before it too is ruined and overshot by others. That's pretty much what happened at Bosque. When I started my photography back in 1989, I had it mostly to myself. Now, that is a distant dream.
