I should feel happy for people who visit red rock country and become wildly excited, but for me it isn't the color that matters so much. It is the camp-ability of the topography.
Mesas and plateaus are easy to camp on. Canyon bottoms are difficult to drive through, camp on, or get a wireless signal. Crumpled mountains make for surprisingly few camping locations.
And of course, mesas make for good dirt-road mountain biking.
