Lost Wolverine is a hard hike in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, part of the Gardiner Ranger District of Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana. The trail is about 22 miles long, with a one-way climb of roughly 1,500 feet from a low point of about 6,800 feet to a high of about 9,400 feet. It is an out-and-back route on natural surface, and horses are allowed. The nearest town is Gardiner, and the Forest Service manages the land. The trail lies entirely within designated wilderness, so plan for a remote outing. Several other hikes sit within a few miles, including Lake Abundance Creek, Wolverine Pass Cutoff and Stillwater River. For an overnight base, Soda Butte Campground is about 7 miles away.
