Meeting these wolves in Colorado won’t cost you a dime
Are you looking for a truly wild experience that involves letting a massive wolf lick your face? Look no further. The Rocky Mountain Wildlife Foundation will give you a tour of their facility for free, putting you up-close and personal with their animals. They do accept donations, and considering that similar experiences around the state can cost hundreds of dollars, a recommended donation of $50-75 is totally worth it.
Most of the wolves and wolf dogs here are very well-trained, but they are still wild animals. You’ll have to sign a waiver to enter their space. While that might sound a little intimidating, the staff is accident-free when it comes to those participating in their tours.
Once you sign a waiver, you’ve got to get accepted into the pack.
