Sleeping Bear Dunes

10 brandon jenson

This is the perfect spot! The park offers the most stunning view from atop a massive sand dune. The initial viewpoint is likely the ideal spot to capture a picture-perfect scene that stretches over the dune and the lake. And don't worry about the sign; it's not too difficult to climb back up if you're fit and have about thirty minutes to spare. The beach and the waves below offer a truly pleasant experience, all while gazing up at the towering dune. Just be cautious if you visit on a windy day, as it can get quite intense.
