Two months after their release, two of Colorado’s reintroduced wolves have reached Moffat County, the farthest reported location from initial release sites in Grand and Summit counties.
Collar data showed the two wolves “have made some broad movements in the last week and indicates some wolves have recently moved from western Routt County into eastern Moffat County,” Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesperson Rachel Gonzales wrote in an email sent to the Coloradoan on Saturday.
There have been few confirmed sightings of the 10 wolves released in late December. Photos and videos on social media have shown wolves around the Kremmling area, which is near where some of the wolves were released.
The wolves seen in eastern Moffat County would be approximately 70 miles northwest of their release sites. One of those release sites was near the Radium State Wildlife area southwest of Kremmling.
Wolves widely wander and can travel 30 miles or more per day. Craig, the Moffat County seat, is located near the eastern edge of the county.
