Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Rendez-vous par vos propres moyens au point de rendez-vous idéalement situé à Moab, puis montez dans le véhicule 4 roues motrices robuste et confortable pour la route panoramique de 2 heures vers Chesler Park, situé au cœur du quartier des aiguilles du parc national de Canyonlands.
Le quartier des aiguilles offre des paysages impressionnants et des vues panoramiques à chaque tournant. Admirez les imposantes formations rocheuses multicolores, l'art rupestre ancien, les paysages désertiques parsemés de cactus et le ciel bleu vif du sud-ouest. Gardez un œil sur une variété de créatures, y compris des oiseaux, des lézards, des cerfs mulets et des mouflons à grandes cornes, et profitez de l'odeur du pinyon, du genévrier et de la sauge dans l'air du désert.
Votre guide manœuvre habilement le 4x4 sur Elephant Hill, connu comme l'un des sentiers les plus difficiles du sud-est de l'Utah. Passez Devil's Kitchen et descendez Devil's Lane avant de rencontrer SOB Hill, un autre défi pour les compétences de conduite de votre guide.
À midi, profitez d'un délicieux pique-nique sous forme de buffet à un magnifique point de vue. Ensuite, vous aurez la possibilité de parcourir le sentier conjoint jusqu'aux vastes prairies de Chesler Park, l'un des endroits les plus spectaculaires de Canyonlands. Attendez-vous à parcourir une boucle de 3 miles sur un sentier bien entretenu qui passe entre d'énormes rochers et des canyons latéraux. Le sentier a une bonne surface de marche et une pente raide dans certaines parties, ce qui en fait une randonnée difficile adaptée aux randonneurs forts. Ou évitez la randonnée et détendez-vous simplement dans le véhicule avec le temps de vous imprégner de la beauté qui vous entoure. Quoi qu'il en soit, votre visite en 4x4 vous emmène dans certaines des régions les plus reculées des Canyonlands afin que vous puissiez découvrir ce magnifique paysage de première main.
Dans une zone remplie de cols de montagne difficiles, de terrains techniques et de nombreuses randonnées de niveaux 2, 3 et 4, les sites d'art rupestre de Moab offrent aux voyageurs un accès facile à des dessins anciens éparpillés le long des sentiers que même un novice peut naviguer.
Après une journée complète d'exploration en 4x4, votre guide vous ramène à votre point de départ à Moab pour terminer votre visite.

This was truly an amazing experience. The offering was very exciting. Being out in the needles and having so much opportunity to see some special places was wonderful. Charlotte was such an awesome driver was a wonderful guy giving us so much information on the area. We had a wonderful lunch also. Highly recommend this tour.
Hello, We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour of the Needles district of Canyonlands National Park. Thank you for your review and recommendation. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Charlotte. We hope to have the opportunity to lead you on another expedition on your next visit to Moab! Best, Corey
Matt was one of the best trail guides that we have ever met . Very experienced and confident at navigating the terrain in a large vehicle- making you feel safe and at the same time extremely knowledgeable about the surroundings. He definitely has the right personality for the job.
It was an epic adventure! This amazing 4x4 excursion allows you to experience the Needles district of Canyonlands which isn’t possible to see on your own for most Moab visitors. The rock formations are out of this world and the hike was what we were hoping for. We’re active hikers in our mid-late 60’s. Cody who was our driver and guide was an outstanding host. He was informative, friendly and his driving skills were top notched—handling the rugged terrain with precision. Highly recommend it with NavTec Expeditions-they are true experts in off the road excursions.
I went during slow season so the company switched me to the White Rim trail full day tour instead. Our 4x4 tour of Island in the Sky and White Rim was absolutely incredible! We were literally by ourselves and avoided the crowds. The views were breathtaking, but what made it unforgettable was our guide, Adam. He was hilarious, full of fascinating facts, and made everyone feel comfortable and engaged the whole time. His stories brought the canyon’s history to life, and his humor kept us laughing even on the bumpy trails. You can tell he loves what he does! If you’re visiting Canyonlands, do yourself a favor and ask for Adam — you won’t regret it!
We had a great time on our 4x4 trip into the Needles district of Canyonlands National park. We had a great guide and driver in Matt who knew a great deal about the area. The hike to Chester park during the middle of the trip was fantastic,=. I would highly recommend this trip. I may do it again in the future with other family members.
We so enjoyed our time on the tour . We would highly recommend this adventure. From the 4x4 drive through the park to an enjoyable hike it did not disappoint. Then our guide followed up our hike with a delicious healthy lunch for all of us . This was a fun learning experience with breath taking views.
Expect a challenging hike . Lunch was very good. Driver guide was very helpful. Stunning scenery all day.
What a great day with our guide Charlotte. She took us into the Needles District in a 4x4 Landcruiser. She was very skilled and safe, taking us out to the backcountry through Elephant Hill Trail. She was very knowledgeable about all aspects and questions about Canyonlands and other things and Moab. There was another couple with us so pretty much a private tour
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad Charlotte made your Needles District adventure both safe and exciting with her skillful driving and extensive knowledge of the area. It’s wonderful to hear the small group setting gave you that almost private-tour feel—what a perfect way to experience Canyonlands!
What an awesome tour! Our guide, Charlotte, was fantastic. We've done many jeep tours over the years and many locations --- we like to see things and go into areas you can't access by your personal vehicle and that we might not see otherwise. This was, by far, the best jeep tour we've been on. Charlotte has tons of experience and her love of the area really shines through when she's telling about the geography and history of the area. The "road" we traveled on was way more than just a rough jeep road! Charlotte's navigation and driving of the tour was impressive. We had a great lunch, wonderful hike on the Joint Trail up to Chesler part area. Fantastic views --- just incredible. I am not a super avid hiker and Charlotte was really patient and gave me some great tips about how to navigate the slick rocks and climbing. Highly recommend this tour; worth every penny!
NAVTEC tours TURNS IT UP TO 11....in the spirit of THIS IS SPINAL TAP Sooooooooooooooo WOW!!!! It was awesome! When in Moab, you must go here; you must use NAVTEC; and you must ask for Charlotte!!!!! the off roading was beyond belief. The Land Cruiser traversed terrain I hadn't experienced since Afghanistan. Charlotte was a perfect guide, giving us great info about the places, the history, and her perspective of the place. The lunch she fixed was perfect. There is no other way to do this fantastic place.
