It's one of my favorite spots. I've taken 3 Vegastravaganza groups out there and always try and get there if I'm in the Vegas area.

Be sure to visit Atalatl Rock and the Mouse's Tank trail. The Mouse's Tank petroglyphs are high on the canyon wall on the left as you go down. The natural bridge is in a side canyon to the right, just before the end of the trail. White Dome trail takes you past the old location set for the movie The Professionals.
The Cabins are worth a visit - look up on the canyon wall behind them for more petroglyphs.
If you have any real interest in pre-history, take the east exit from the park and go north towards Overton. On the left, just before town, is the Lost City Museum - furthest known easterly extension of the Virgin Anasazi culture.
