Desert Wolf

In 1997 I made the trek up to visit Mission Wolf, high in the Sangre de Christo mountains of south central Colorado. On a hundred acres lived 50+ wolves - refugees from bad homes, movies, wherever wolves may have found themselves unwanted (which is everywhere it seem). There were other wolf freaks like myself at Mission Wolf too - cabins and teepees for long term volunteers, a visitor center. At sunset all the wolves would howl together and fill the hills with their ancient primal call. What a place.
To get to Mission Wolf, you must go Interstate 25 to Colorado, turn west on Highway 69 at Walsenburg. When you get to the little hippie outpost Gardner go a mile and look for CR 634, better known as Gardner Road. Turn Right and drive 13.5 miles till the Blue Spring driveway turnoff on your right - you will need 4WD in winter!
