Grey wolf in Colorado.
Grey wolf in Colorado.

A wolf briefly traveled east of Colorado’s I-25, moving into watersheds that extend into Pueblo, Otero, and Las Animas Counties.

According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the collared wolf traveled back west of I-25 after making its way into the watersheds. Its movements are visibly in CPW’s monthly wolf activity map for May 23rd – June 23rd, 2026.

The activity east of I-25 shows how dispersed wolves travel with broad movements. While the monthly activity map is released to provide general information to the public about wolf activity, the wildlife department directly communicates with producers to relay wolf movement on a more active schedule.

CPW is in active communication with producers with known wolf activity near their operations. The department is coordinating access to conflict minimization resources for producers in the area. Further information on CPW’s conflict minimization program is available here.

Anyone who believes they’ve seen a wolf should submit a sighting form on CPW’s website. Reports of wolf sightings from members of the public, especially those with high-quality photos or videos, are very helpful for supporting CPW’s effort to monitor and track the movement of gray wolves.
