It has been a long time, but I remember wishing I had a camera on a
pleasant walk out to an old mining site away from the famous rock climbing
areas. Old mining equipment makes for great photo subjects. Consider b/w
film... I wouldn't bother photographing climbers unless you can safely
reach their elevation. Shots of climbers from below never seem to capture
the mood.
Don't even think of photographing during the glare and heat of midday and
apply the adage about film ("take twice what you think you will need") to water!
Sorry, but I can't find my old map at the moment.
The "Desert Queen Ranch" is sometime opened especially for photographers,
but the general public tour doesn't allow tripods (or eating which I find an
essential part of an photo expedition!).
Inquire on arrival.
