Outdoors-minded women make a tradition of winter vacation to the U.P.

A Chicago-area group of women organize outdoors adventures all year long, but possibly the one that sounds the craziest to those who don't know better is a trip to run sled dogs in the U.P. each winter. 

 

Excerpt: Many suburbanites dream of escaping the bitter cold and snow of our seemingly endless winter. The 31 women on the Trailbound Trips' "Women's Getaway" escaped to someplace even colder and snowier.

 

Eating breakfast before dawn on Friday, the women readied themselves for the day's dog sled adventure in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
