Hi,
I am doing some planning on Google Earth in the area around Chesler Park in Canyonlands and I noticed another "park" area called Virginia Park. Looks like if I go to Chesler Park and then go into the Joint Trail, I get to Chesler Canyon. If I go left I eventually make it to Devils Lane, but if I go right into Chesler Canyon I can see a path (not sure if this is still the 4WD road or not) that takes me to Virginia Park. What I cant see on Google Earth is if there is an entrance to Virginia Park of not. I see a side canyon from Chesler Canyon that looks like it goes into it, but I am not sure if its a dead end of the proper way to get Virginia Park.
Anyone familiar with the area ? I want to hike past Chesler Park and now instead of going towards Devils Lane, going towards Virginia Park looks appealing. I see lots of side trips in there.
