Reach the park visitor center by taking exit 93 from I-15 if coming from the east ,or exit 75 if coming from the west (Las Vegas). From the highway, the route to the park is well signed. There is a fee to enter the park ($10 as of 2018 for day use).

From the Visitor Center, go north on the Mouse's Tank Rd/White Domes Rd for 1.2 miles to a well signed parking area on the right, and another parking area/picnic are on the left side of the road. This is the trailhead.

From the trailhead, follow the trail east. The trail is on loose sand through a shallow canyon. Keep an eye out for petroglyphs as you hike; the ones I saw were all on the left side and visible from the trail. Most are on black patina and are fairly weathered. There are a lot geometric designs as well as handprints, animals, and people.

Soon you will reach a sign indicating that the trail ends soon. Head left here to a large open sandy area. Look into the narrow gap between the sandstone to see the tanks. Both were quite full when I was there in December; the tanks are well shaded and likely hold water most of the year most years. You can scramble up the rock to the left of the tanks to get a view down into the tanks.

After enjoying the tanks, head back to the trail and continue up the canyon a few minutes further. There will be a short slot with an arch up to your right. The temptation to keep scrambling is high.
