Residents around Flagstaff and campers along the Mogollon Rim and Grand Canyon would hear the howls of wild wolves again one day, if one Flagstaff group accomplishes its mission.

The plan, depending on public support and available habitat, would be to reintroduce endangered gray wolves along the Mogollon Rim, up to Flagstaff and up on the North Kaibab, linking packs on the central Arizona-New Mexico border to corridors leading to Utah and the Rocky Mountains.

Bringing one of the top predators back into the region is probably 10 years away from happening here, said Kim Crumbo, of the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council.
