Colorado wolves push farther into southern Front Range, new map shows

Two Wolves Roam Southern Colorado’s Front Range Mountains

Two wolves were spotted separately in the southern end of Colorado’s Front Range mountains in February, making their way through watersheds west of Pueblo and Colorado Springs. A map released by Colorado Parks and Wildlife revealed their paths.

These wolves ventured farther southeast than previous tracking had shown, but they have not ventured near urban areas or crossed Interstate 25, according to a news release by CPW.

Collared wolves in the state have also been seen in the central mountains, covering a wide area from north to south. Their territories include the San Luis Valley, as well as the mountains near Vail, Aspen, and Leadville, along with the hills and ranchland around Walden. While some wolves roam broadly, the four established packs in the state have set territories and are not wandering as much, CPW stated.
