Chesler Park Loop Hike. An all day adventure in Canyonlands Needles District - Very Scenic!

The Chesler Park Loop Hike is located in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. Access to Elephant Hill trailhead (start point for this hike) is via an unpaved road. In good weather it should be suitable most all vehicles capable of driving down a gravel road. The road into the park itself is paved. The hike is shown as about 11 miles (17.6 km), but I have hiked it a couple times coming out with around 13 miles (20.8 km). You can hike it in 5-7 hours, but if you stop a lot and soak it in be prepared for it to take longer. There may be no water sources along the route so be prepared with plenty of water (Possibly seasonally). I drank 2.5 liters in the first 9 miles and it was not hot at the time. The hike isn't particularly technical, but it's overall length makes it more challenging than some other trails. AllTrails consideres this a moderate trail. There is an outhouse part the way around the loop at the Joint Trail Trailhead (38.103427, -109.866672) (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Joi...) Canyonlands National Park charges a fee to enter.
