Colorado Parks and Wildlife says there is at least one wolf pup born from a pair of gray wolves that were reintroduced in Colorado last December. CPW biologists confirmed it is in Grand County. There are no pictures or videos, and they say there may be more, as four to six pups are usually born to a litter. Because the wolves have successfully reproduced, they are now considered a pack, and have been named the Copper Creek Pack.

A Mental Wellness gathering is Saturday morning at the West Acres Mobile Home Park. This is where a plane crashed on Monday afternoon. Representatives from Mind Springs Health and Routt County Crisis Support will be there to help any residents who are dealing with trauma, and who may need resources and support. They’ll be there from 9 a.m. to noon at the entrance of the park near the post office boxes.
Friends of Ross and Julie Hammond have set up an account for donations at Mountain Valley Bank. The Hammonds lost everything in their home Monday, when a plane crashed next to it in the West Acres neighborhood, and then caught on fire. For questions, contact Sabrina Kemry at 970-819-1930.
