Here is a article by a Denver TV station on the wolves.
As a FYI, the purple area are drainage's where wolves have been tracked to not actual locations. So if a wolf is trotting down along the Continental Divide and happens to wander down the east or west side the map will show that drainage as being a area that they have been in.

Colorado’s wolves could be east of the Continental Divide for the first time
Colorado's wolf population now has 29 members, according to state officials, and one of the population members is "exploring" a watershed in what Colorado Parks and Wildlife called southeastern Colorado.

Here's the news release notes from CPW.
CPW’s Notable Updates
CPW’s Notable Updates
- There are now 29 gray wolves in Colorado (CPW just translocated and released 15 additional wolves from British Columbia). As always, this number can change at any time if other wolves migrate to Colorado from other states.
- Wolves were released both north and south of I-70, however, we expect wolves to explore their new environment and travel widely.
- One female wolf is exploring the southeast region of the state. The watersheds in the southeast region that are lit up in this map represent the movement of this one animal.
- In order for any watershed to indicate wolf activity, at least one GPS point from at least one of the wolf collars was recorded within the boundaries of the watershed within the last 30 days.
- Simply because a watershed indicates wolf activity, it does not mean that a wolf or wolves are present throughout the entire watershed nor that they are currently in the watershed.

On a side note, I was coming home from Grand Junction on I-70 yesterday and spotted something black and dead along side of the road just west of Parachute. Right off I thought of a wolf. It looked twice the size of a dog but smaller than a bear. I really didn't think bear since after all, it's still February.
I called the Glenwood Springs CP&W office and reported it, and they were supposed to get back to me,ya right.
This area is to the north of Battlement Mesa where some of the released wolves have been spotted.

Here is the latest map on the drainage's that the wolves have traveled through. It doesn't show where the one entered Wyoming to feast on some sheep and managed to get itself shot.
I did report what I am pretty sure was a wolf that was killed on I-70 just west of the town of Parachute. I was on my way back from Grand Junction in the middle of February when I saw a dead animal on the side of the freeway. It was black with some white in it. I didn't stop but I did report it. They said that they would get back to me but in 2 months I still haven't heard a thing about it.
