Wildlife Corridor

The area around Wolf Creek Pass has been identified as one of the most important wildlife movement corridors in the nation, and the most important wildlife linkage in the San Juan Mountains.  Connecting the South San Juan Wilderness with the Weminuche Wilderness this area provides a vital movement corridor for lynx, bear, elk, and other species. It is situated in the very heart of the San Juan Core Area for lynx, which comprises the core reintroduction area and the most expansive lynx habitat in the Southern Rockies.
