The Colorado Corridors Project in June captured its first photo of a wolf on Vail Pass.

The photo features the wolf staring directly into the camera and was taken by a remote-triggered camera on the north side of East Vail pass

The photo tracks with information provided in Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s June activity map detailing the collared wolves’ movements across the state. In June, the map showed that the wolves were moving deeper into Eagle and Summit counties.

The monthly maps track the wolves, which were reintroduced starting in December, using Colorado watershed boundaries. The map from May 21 through June 25 showed the wolves entering watersheds in northwestern Eagle County and southern Summit County near Copper Mountain.
