There's your choices for finding wolves in the wild. Not so great. There aren't any near any major cities, really.
Salt Lake isn't too far from the Idaho/Montana population though, and the Wasatch Front is full of forested mountain wilderness. (It's drier than many forests, and the undergrowth is less lush, but up in the mountains it's not desert anymore, there is snow and pine trees and such. I've been camping up there several times.) And I used to live near there, so I could answer questions about it. But organized crime and Salt Lake City are... about as far from each other as possible, really. *grins* Then again, SLC has a big punk/goth scene, which is also the last thing you'd expect, so... *shrug*
If you weren't ruling out Chicago, that'd be perfect. Seattle is possible, it's REALLY good on the forest/wilderness front, but not so good on the wolves, and I personally have only been there twice.
