Here are some pictures from a short road trip to the northwest parts of Lower Peninsula during Fall Break, 2002.

Here are links to the national lakeshore and some maps.

Dune Climb

The official Dune Climb is part of a 1.5-mile trail to the coast of Lake Michigan. However, laziness prevailed that morning and we decided to just climb to a respectable point of the dunes and enjoy the view from above.
