Wolverine Canyon

I got into the area pretty late and I was exhausted from driving all day so I just snagged that very first spot that you hit shortly after the dirt road and it was perfect. It was small it was right on the road which I didn’t really like because there was quite a bit of traffic from the ranchers going back-and-forth but it wasn’t bad. Once everything settled in for the night I slept to the sound of The creek going by. In the morning I got to watch some cattle being herded which is pretty cool.

About thirty minutes outside of Blackfoot before you hit gravel road. We only drove a short distance on gravel before we parked in a wide spot that had a fire pit. We could hear the babbling creek all night. So soothing. So quiet. Poor cell service.

We needed a spot to spend the night on our way back to Montana. Our timing worked out for the Idaho Falls area and Wolverine Canyon came up as an option. It’s all paved road until you get to the mouth of the Canyon, then it’s a well maintained gravel road. A few washboard spots but easy to tow a trailer even 30 ft long. Most camp spots are right off of the main gravel road. Saw several camps set up over Memorial Day weekend, and we didn’t have a problem finding a spot for the night. Lots of spots have some wear and tear from target shooting, previous camping, ruts in mud, etc, but more than suitable for a boondocking setup. Be sure to pay attention to BLM boundaries, as there is some checkerboard ownership with private lands and the fence boundaries aren’t always signed. Beautiful setting! Lush, green, rugged rock cliffs along the drive.
