Wolverine Loop Road (28 miles, 4WD NOT required) is a beautifully scenic dirt road that leaves the Burr Trail, heads south towards the Escalante River and its many canyons, past petrified wood, to the trailheads of slot canyons, and up the Circle Cliffs before connecting back to the Burr Trail Scenic Byway.

You circle around Bitumen Mesa as you approach Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and the road takes you to the trailheads for Little Death Hollow and Horse Canyon.

The Wolverine Petrified Wood Area has a short and sweet trail with lots of Petrified Wood. It’s also just a beautiful area as you’re surrounded by the red sandstone of Wolverine Bench and Little Brown Bench.

If you have the time and are looking for an off the beaten path route through this amazing area of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument that has beautiful views of Boulder Mountain, Navajo Mountain, and this Sandstone Playground you could do no better than the Wolverine Loop Road. It doesn’t require 4WD but it is bumpy and rocky at spots and high clearance is a good idea.
