Trailbound Trips is a women's hiking group which goes on trips through the wilderness in Northern Illinois. The trips are open to any women 18 years and up who are physically fit, and each week-long trip generally consists of 9 women with two guides. Rain does not affect trip plans, provided it isn't a thunderstorm. Trip-goers will don rain-gear and warm up by the fireplace at the lodging afterward. In addition to week-long trips, it offers short getaways and day trips. There is also a women's mini-triathlon held every year, consisting of 13 miles of biking, 3.1 miles of walking or running and 1.5 miles of kayaking.
