Colorado’s Newest Wolf Pack Has Established in Eagle County

CPW said the pack formed after successful reproduction, bringing Colorado to four reproducing wolf packs this year.

  • On Wednesday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed the formation of the Piney Ridge Pack in Eagle County, bringing the state's total to four active wolf packs.
  • The Piney Ridge Pack replaces the King Mountain Pack, whose breeding pair died earlier this year, leaving that group unable to reproduce this spring.
  • According to CPW, pack formation improves wolf survival rates and enables deployment of conflict-minimization tools like fladry and scare devices; average litters span four to six pups.
  • The One Ear Pack, Three Creeks Pack, and Copper Creek Pack also produced pups this spring, with Colorado's estimated wolf population reaching 32 animals as of March 31.
  • Wolf Conservation Program Manager Eric Odell stated his team will include minimum population counts in the 2027 spring report while maintaining communication with producers in wolf-active areas.
