The Listening Point Pack: February 2024

Wolves from the Listening Point Pack from a week ago in a remote region of Voyageurs National Park. The Listening Point Pack received its name as a tribute to Sigurd Olson. If Sigurd were still alive, we suspect he would think this is pretty neat!

“I could hear them plainly now on both sides of the river, could hear the brush crack as they hurdled windfalls in their path…I was thrilled to know that the big grays might have picked up my trail and were following me down the glistening frozen highway of the river.

It was a beautiful night for travel—twenty below, and the only sounds the steady swish and creak of my snowshoes on the crust. There was a great satisfaction in knowing that the wolves were in the country, that it was wild enough and still big enough for them to roam and hunt. That night the wilderness of the Quetico-Superior was what the voyageurs had known two hundred years before, as primitive and unchanged as before discovery”

-Sigurd Olson, The Singing Wilderness
