Volunteer hikers and bikers made the final leg of the Paseo del Lobo journey from north of the San Fransisco Peaks to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon this fall. While we only had the opportunity to see and experience a small slice of the vast wildlife coordinator that Mexican wolves might travel on the Paseo del Lobo trail, it is easy to imagine the wolves that once lived in this area years decades ago and could live here again with our help. There are a ...

Our journey on the Path of the Wolf has taken us through some beautiful high elevation forests in northern Arizona, just in time to see the Quaking Aspen trees turning golden yellow for the fall.

An informational sign along the trail said that General George Crook was a Commander in the ...

As the summer Monsoon rains kicked into full force, the Paseo del Lobo hikers, bikers, and runners traveled westward along the Mogollon Rim on the Sitgreaves National Forest. Muddy trails and cloudy skies didn't slow us down though as we follow the Path of the Wolf to the Grand Canyon Region! Frequent thunderstorms can provide a pleasant drop in temperature on warm days and a valuable source of water for the plants and animals of the high elevation ...
