You mean in the GJ area? if so, the national monument is a good place to start, especially at sunrise/sunset.

Rattlesnake Canyon arches would be good if you have 4WD. And like Stan said, Colo. National Monument, where the flowers were pretty spectacular last week.

Just a suggestion, not from personal experience: I have always wanted to spend some time along the base of the Book Cliffs, capturing the elemental forms of the weathered shales and breakdown boulders that have a rather Death Valley look to them. Every time I breeze by the area on I-70 I am tempted to stop and give it a try. Look to your right as you exit the mouth of Palisade Canyon and you will see what I mean; it's quite obvious. Wherever you end up, happy shooting!
