This place Sleeping Bear Dune is fantastic and VERY beautiful. Patti 1/2 way up the 110 foot dune. After this picture I had to take off my shoes to get up the rest of the way. The view from the top was amazing and breath taking. Or maybe the dune took my breath! ;0)
From the top of the first dune, this is what we saw. The next dune to Lake Michigan. It took 3 to 4 hours to get to the lake over these dunes. These were just the first ones. Needless to say one dune was enough for us.
Tim at the top of the first dune. He actually went to the top of the one beside him. He said all he could see were more dunes.
This picture was taken from the bottom of the 110 foot dune. You can see how little the people look up there. This is called Sleeping Bear Dune because a mother bear and her two cubs were driven into Lake Michigan by a raging forest fire. They swam and swam but the cubs tired and drowned. The mother climbed to the top of the dune to watch and wait for the cubs. There are two islands off the shore of this dune and the islands are the cubs. Good Indian story.
