Being accessible by long stretches of rough roads to the north or rugged 4X4 trails to the south, really cuts back on the crowds. Saline Valley is a gorgeous, empty expanse with stellar sunrise/set views. In late March we had the entire valley to ourselves with the exception of a handful of cars passing by. There are rocky pull-in areas along the road, some more level than others, all with incredible views. A short drive to Lippencott Pass and Warm Springs from here.
