Two wolves roamed separately into the southern end of Colorado’s Front Range mountains in February, passing through watersheds west of Pueblo and Colorado Springs, a map released Wednesday by Colorado Parks and Wildlife shows.
The wolves wandered farther southeast than tracking previously had recorded, but no wolves have spent time near urban centers or crossed Interstate 25, CPW said in a news release.
The state’s collared wolves also occupied land across the state’s central mountains, nearly spanning the state from north to south.
Their diverse territory included the San Luis Valley; the mountains near Vail, Aspen and Leadville; and the hills and ranchland around Walden. While some wolves continue to move broadly, the wolves that make up the state’s four packs have established territories and are not roaming as widely, according to CPW.
