Have you ever seen a real, live wolf ? Not in zoo, behind an enclosure, but up close and in your face?
If I had to choose a totem animal, the wolf wouldn't be my first choice. I don't consider myself a wolf person. But I guess I've had wolf on the brain ever since I read White Fang as a kid.
To me, White Fang
Ok, maybe he was more like the Bruce Lee of the wolf world; unmatched; undefeatable. White Fang
Then, there is also Kavik the Wolf Dog
Finally, who hasn't heard of the Epic Three Wolves t-shirts
Wolves were always associated with remote, rugged wilderness. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that we can actually see and interact with them at the Wolf Mountain Sanctuary!
At Wolf Mountain Sanctuary you can make schedule a visit with the wolves for an hour, a half day, or a full day. Prices start at $25 for the hour visit. Visitors are encouraged to bring treats but please check their website as only certain treats, such as "Frozen Turkey Drumsticks"! Knucklebones/soup bones, or dog bones from Costco are allowed.
All this time that I've been reading about wolves, I've only seen their likeness on the cover illustration. This doesn't do them any justice! Check out the real wolves of Wolf Mountain Sanctuary. They are gorgeous! WMS doesn't allow people to display their photos without permission, so you'll have to click on their link. It's worth it. I never realized how magnificent wolves are. They're also huge. In fact, no one under 5'4 is allowed. Now, I can see why they are such successor predators.
I'm taking a trip out there the first chance I get, which is after my son reaches the minimum height requirement and won't be mistaken for lunch. The Wolves of Wolf Mountain Sanctuary definitely Inspire Me!
