Wolverine Trail Map

Here is a map of our journey on the Wolverine Trail. The sign at the campground trailhead states that it is a "more difficult" trail. The trail allows one way traffic going uphill for a short distance. The southernmost marker on the map shows a one way trail that splits off of the main trail. On the way down, this one-way trail should be taken. The first part of the trail is quite steep and rocky. The trail levels out and goes northeast through an area where there was a forest fire. The aspens and pines are beginning to grow back. The middle marker shows where the Yurt Ridge Trail branches off to the right about 1.8 miles from the trailhead. The sign stated it was rated "most difficult." This means it may have rocky surfaces, sharp turns, switchbacks, steep grades, narrow passages, low overhangs, ledges and large rocks. Can be slippery and muddy when wet. May have tree stumps limbs or other debris. Machines with low ground clearance may strike or high center on obstacles. Some riders may be more comfortable using four-wheel drive machines. Our Yamaha Grizzly 550 EPS 4WD ATVs were put to good use on this rocky steep trail. We definitely needed the 4WD.

The Yurt Ridge Trail is a steep trail that leads to a ridge where there are fantastic views of the valleys below. About a mile up from the beginning of Yurt Ridge Trail is Ridge Yurt - a round tent-like shelter used during the winter by winter recreationists. This is marked by the third marker on the map. Ridge Yurt has a trail leading to it that dead-ends.

If you don't want to take Yurt Ridge Trail where it splits off of Wolverine, stay to the left. This trail goes down through the valley and leads to Lily Lake. We stopped by the shore of the lake then went around the north side on a trail that leads to a dead end on the west side of the lake.
