Wolverine Bypass

Wolverine Bypass provides a cut-over for those seeking to shorten their trip along Wolverine Loop Road. The trail is well-traveled and journeys through an area filled with scrubby juniper trees, dipping briefly into a windy section of a shallow canyon. A couple of campsites are located at the northern end of Wolverine Bypass, one with a scenic view of the surrounding mesas. The trail is suitable for any stock high-clearance vehicle in dry conditions, but be aware that seasonal rainfall creates flash flooding in the area.

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.
