#13: Apostle Islands, Wisconsin: Iron Will

Iron Will

A wintertime visit to the Apostle Islands puts you right in the middle of Jack London's "Iron Will," which tells the exciting story of a young man who fights the elements and the naysayers to win a cross-country dog sled race so he can care for his family. The 1994 family movie, based on the real 522-mile dog-sled race in 1917 from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to St. Paul, Minn., features Native American actors from the Apostle Islands region. And for those who want to stay out of the cold, the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore makes a beautiful place to enjoy the great outdoors in the spring, summer, and fall.
