Dune Climb Trail in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
The Dune Climb Trail is a rewarding, albeit challenging, experience for visitors looking to take in stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The climb itself leads up a towering sand dune, offering vistas of Little Glen Lake from the first plateau and expansive dunes that stretch toward Lake Michigan. Beyond the Dune Climb, hikers can follow the Dune Trail, crossing multiple dunes, to reach the shores of Lake Michigan, where the views become even more breathtaking. However, the sandy terrain and steep slopes make the route strenuous, so it's important to come prepared with proper footwear. #Hiking #Lake #Sand #Nature
