Publisher's Note Identical twin sisters Miki and Julie Collins grew up in the vast Interior Alaska wilderness north of Denali National Park, and together live a traditional bush lift of trapping, hunting, fishing, and gardening. Their closest companions were a to loyal sled dogs ... chat is, until they heard about Icelandic horses. In "Riding The Wild Side of Denali," Miki and Julie tell how these sturdy northern horses -- which ear fish and wild grasses -- became part of their family's Alaska homestead, bringing both new problems and new pleasures. When leading their steeds through boggy tundra and over ice bridges spanning glacial streams ... taking a 1,900-mile excursion around Alaska by dog sled ... defending huskies from a starving grizzly ... letting the huskies defend theta from a grizzly trekking through volcanic ash ... or trying to remove a panicked horse from the cockpit of a flying plane, the Collins sisters deliver a new breed of authentic Alaska adventures. Miki and Julie Collins are also the authors of Trapline Twins (Alaska Northwest Books "TM" ) and Dog Driver: A Guide for the Serious Musher (Alpine Publications). Their column "In the Bush" is published regularly in the Fairban, Daily News-Miner.
