Sleeping Bear Dunes by Lake Michigan in Michigan are a very popular destination. People come here to see huge sand hills and swim in one of the Great Lakes.
The Dunes Trail starts with a long sand climb. The farther we walked, the fewer people were around us. Apparently, the sandy ground makes it difficult to hike. The goal here is the lakeshore. A swim in its waters was a long-awaited reward. For people accustomed to the salty ocean waves, the calm fresh waters of Lake Michigan are a nice new experience.
