Wolf Howl in the Park

Once we were back on Cache Lake, we took some friends who had rented a cabin on the lake to their first Wolf Howl. The public wolf howls are “wildly” popular and are held every year in August when the wolves leave their cubs in one spot for a prolonged period of time while they go off in search of food. If the park rangers are able to locate a pack they then hold a public wolf howl that begins with a presentation in the ampitheatre. As the sun goes down, the crowd gets into their cars and proceeds down the highway to a designated area where everyone parks by the side of the road and quietly gets out of their cars. The rangers howl and if you are very lucky first the adult wolves and then the cubs will answer.
