Foresters Hall Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par

"A set of iconic offshore chalk stacks best admired from the Alum Bay chairlift or, for a closer perspective, by taking a boat tour that approaches the nearby lighthouse."

I felt prompted to review the trail itself (Chesler Park). But what really blew my mind that Sunday two weeks ago was the Needles area. It was a huge reward to make it here because the stem of the trail is three miles long. We spotted a lot of lizards on the way up the stem. 🦎 Once you get there, the Needle towers are incredible. For me it felt like exploring an ancient dried up civilization, it was absurd. A part of the loop went through a massive cave leading into a system of slots canyons. The urge to boulder my way up the walls of the three-foot-wide passages was unexplainable. I made it about 10 or so feet up before deciding it was a bit dangerous. It seems there is SO much more to explore, on every part of the loop, so really hoping I get the chance to come back soon!

A great area to hike. This place is absolutely stunning and magical. I tracked 11.59 miles hiking the Chesler Park Loop.

Great place to hike in Canyonlands National Park! I would highly recommend this. We started our hike at the Elephant Hill parking lot/trail head and backpacked in to the EC2 camp site. We camped there amongst some of the most beautiful scenery you will find. The next day we hiked to Druid Arch then up to Chestler Park then returned back to our vehicles. Take lots of water! Each person in our group packed 6-7 liters of water, which was just about right. Temps in the mid 80’s in the day. I wouldn’t want to go when it was any hotter.

This is where you want to go in Canyonlands. It's one of the coolest places I've been. You feel like you're on a different planet. It kind of reminded me of pod racing on tatooine. The Druid Arch hike is awesome and ends at an arch cooler than most of the arches on Arches NP.

Got a $130 parking ticket because there was not enough parking area at the trailhead so parked on the side of the road as far as I could get off the road with about 1 foot of the car over the line on the side. Nice! Not worth the gas needed to get there.
