Forest Service. Early accounts describe local ranchers in the 1920s turning loose quality animals from a good breeding stock to ensure a future supply of good horses. Recent genetic testing has linked the Ochoco Mustangs to Iberian and Andalusian stock, leaving much to be discovered about their true heritage.

Most riders stick to BLM's loosely enforced straight-and-narrow rules are plentiful, but thousands more disregard the rules, answering the call of their combustion engines to chart new paths through roadless areas which had great ecological consequences.

With the highest concentration of grizzly bears in all of southeast Alaska, biologists estimate that the Alaskan grizzly population is holding strong at about 45,000 bears -about 40 times the number in the rest of the U.S. The decline in the range and numbers in the lower 48 states has heightened management concern and an increased interest in habitat-related studies. Juvenile grizzly bears usually separate from their mothers when they are two years old.
