Chesler Park 4X4 Tour Needles • Canyonlands National Park Full-Day Tour with Lunch 1-800-833-1278

Trip Notes:
Joint Trail Depart the NAVTEC Expeditions headquarters for a full day adventure to Chesler Park in the heart of the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. We travel in heavy duty yet comfortable 4X4 vehicles. Scenic vistas and incredible views are enjoyed throughout our adventure. Our route takes us over famous Elephant Hill, renowned for its difficulty and one of the most challenging trails in the park. We'll see Devil's Kitchen along the way and traverse Devil's Lane before encountering SOB Hill, another challenge to our 4X4 vehicles and our skill. Stately Chesler Park The incredible landforms of the Needles are beautiful beyond description and entirely unique in their grandeur. All who visit here are in awe. After a relaxing lunch we will hike the "Joint Trail" to the spacious pastures of Chesler Park and one of the most spectacular sights in Canyonlands. The "Joint Trail" provides a good walking surface but does have a fairly steep uphill pitch to it. The trail is three miles long, round trip, and participants can expect a strenuous hike. We have limited hiking time and elderly hikers should be in good shape. The hike is optional and some prefer to relax at the vehicle while others hike. Either way you are experiencing the spectacular beauty and remote silence of a great canyon wilderness. Certainly, one of the premiere 4X4 tours in the country. Colorful and inspiring rock formations, pinion and juniper forest, including the fragrance of sage brush, entice the senses. Numerous species of cacti, active bird populations, various lizards and perhaps a Mule Deer or Big Horn Sheep are frequently observed. We'll see ancient Anasazi rock art along the way, all under the vibrant, clear blue sky of the southwest desert. Be sure to bring extra film. There is a strong possibility you'll need it. A good PDF map of the Needles District is available for download below.
