Wolverine Loop Road

Wolverine Loop Road is a remote trail providing access to the southernmost reaches of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument when traveling off the Burr Trail. Mild maintenance by the managing agency keeps this route open year-round though it can be prone to erosion at the various wash crossings due to seasonal rainfall and flash flooding. The wash crossings are considered the hardest part of the trail but are easily managble by most high-clearance 2WD vehicles when dry.

Various hiking trailheads and points of interest such as Horse Canyon TH, Wolverine Petrified Wood Natural Area, and Little Death Hollow Trailhead are all located along the trail. Scenic views are plentiful with towering red rock mesas in most directions.

Camping is not extremely plentiful, some spots are found shortly off the trail's western end, a couple more at Little Horse Canyon, and a few more off the branching trails of Silver Falls and Moody Creek Road.

If you plan to overnight camp within Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument, be sure to obtain a Backcountry Permit at the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center or in most of the trail register boxes at hiking trailheads. Backcountry Permits for overnight stays are free and assist the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) with tracking public land use and can also assist with emergency response efforts. Day use does not require a backcountry permit, but please sign the trail register.
