The end of another month is approaching, and once again, Colorado Parks and Wildlife has released their latest update in regard to where the state's collared wolves have been.

With the mapping based on which watershed units wolves have been detected in between March 26 and April 23, it's been confirmed that reintroduced wolves have traveled east across the Continental Divide and into parts of the Front Range.

The updated map shows wolves moving mostly out of Rio Blanco County and north into more of Routt and Moffat counties. Perhaps most notable, wolves seem to have expanded their range east of US 34 in Grand County, into the Rocky Mountain National Park area. Wolves have also been detected in Larimer County once again, which is home to Fort Collins and Estes Park, and they've been detected in a larger portion of the county than before, now including in the Red Feather Lakes area.

Long story short, Colorado's wolves are on the move and have been detected in the area of several notable outdoor recreation destinations around the state.

It's also worth noting that April has been a busy month in terms of wolf news, with multiple cattle depredations taking place, as well as the death of one of the reintroduced wolves – authorities have said that appears to be due to natural causes, but an investigation is ongoing.
