Very familiar with these basins and have seen coyotes back up and high there and other places here in Colorado, not saying that there are not wolves in the area just never seen sign myself. There are the Griz sighting stories and Bigfoot too!
Have not heard of any wolves being killed in this...
Don't let them tell you any different, but the western slope CO. has been getting its monsoonal flow the past three weeks. Just after this caught in a downpour with about 1" of hail. Love it
Be sure to always include a hummingbird feeder when camping in Colorado. They come out of nowhere and provide some great air shows. Here is a female Rufous.
