I have thought about going there as well. You'll have to tell us how your trip turns out.

As for your question, I can only tell you not to wear running shoes; I wore them while backpacking in Escalante NP, Utah thinking that they would be able to dry quickly from all of the stream crossing. I will never wear them again in those conditions. Sand would fill in my shoes through the little mesh holes and it would become extremely annoying; almost enough to completely ruin my trip. Not just a little sand hear and there, but enough so that a couldn't wiggle my toes anymore. I'm not sure if the conditions will be the same, but I would think twice about wearing running shoes if you were considering them.
