Last Friday while in Michigan after going to the Traverse City Cherry Festival, I was taken on up even farther north to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes in Empire. They were gigantic(400 feet tall if I remember correctly) and after walking what might have been almost a mile up-hill in the sand, we came to a sign that told us Lake Michigan was still over a mile away. Needless to say it was getting dark so we did not continue our journey, but the view was worth what we ended up with.
Just starting, you can see the people are very far up there and they're only about half way up this first hill.
We finally came over one last dune to get a peak of the Lake before turning back.
A view from where we came from once we had gotten about half way up the first hill. You can see all the little tiny cars in the parking lot below.
After the first set of dunes we headed a little ways down the road to a small private beach to get in a quick dip before heading home.
About to get into the chilly water, though it wasn't so cold compared to the temperature of the air.
