. . . as a backpacker I would kind of like the romance that wolves add to an evening in the mountains.

The wolves won't be such wonderful company for you if their numbers go up. Backpackers will become endangered, as opposed to wolves. The romance of it goes away quick.

Unless they have rabies, wolves are not dangerous. You have watched one too many disney movies.
