Well this is a great question, but need to define what you mean by "remote". Furthest from a road, including 4WD? Hardest to get to?
I was thinking of the area in the Last Chance range north of Dry Mtn. Although the rest of the ridge is only 4-5 miles from the Steele Pass road, that gets little traffic as it is pretty rough. When I was up there, it sure seemed far from anything, and rather hard to get to, though non-technical
I was also thinking of the southern Owlsheads but there is that road that goes up to the old communications site, and I think you can still get up there in a sedan (though its rough).
The area around Panamint Butte is pretty hard to get to. I've not tried the rugged route from the Big Four Mine, and it's a long slog in there from Towne Pass, but I'd say more likely to see people than the other two places above.
