Has anyone shot there? Curious if you have any tips or suggestions of where and what to shoot. Thanks for your help!

First take small bills as it is a state park with an entry fee with no facilities for money exchange. And, the rangers are everywhere. But when you get there and re attach your dropped jaw, the photo ops are everywhere. Get out and walk in from the trail heads. When you get back, please let me know if the mom rock and her three kids ever made it across the valley floor.

It is a fascinating place. Expect everything from landscapes to close-ups, petroglyphs, wildlife, and wildflowers.
Sunrise to sunset.
There are a number of back roads into the area of banded sandstones as well where few go. 4WD recommended but not always.
Don't forget to take plenty of water.

Been there - Did that - and I Will Go Again....
It can be a wee bit on the WARM side - I experienced 112 Degrees (F) temps... And 80 at night (I camped there)..
Bring a LARGE water bottle -- Bring good snacks and WATER. You will need some GOOD hiking boots and or shoes...
And -- BRING a Large capacity Memory Card and extra batteries.....
You WILL see SOMETHING just about EVERYWHERE you look. And If You Have A Trained Photographic EyE.... Well.. bring MORE extra batteries and card as well.

Thanks All! Apreciate the tips! If you had time for Valley of Fire or Red Rock Canyon which would you choose? Not sure on my schedule yet.

Valley of Fire has many more options but Red Rock Canyon is great too. If you go in winter and catch some storms, they tend to flow out from the Red Rock canyons and can be spectacular, particularly snow storms.
Remember too, Death Valley is not that far away.

Be sure which ever one you choose take lots of water and snacks. The heat out there can be brutal. Also be watchful for flash floods. They can hit in minutes. Lots of batteries and memory cards as already suggested. A hat and sunscreen are a must.
