Event description: Spend a weekend hiking the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore! The park was established primarily for its outstanding natural features, including forests, beaches, dune formations, and ancient glacial phenomena on the shores of Lake Michigan. We will leave Friday afternoon and camp at a front country site Friday night. On Saturday, we will hike a 5-8 mile stretch of the dunes, stopping for lunch along the way. On Sunday, we will hike 1-3 miles and depart for Ann Arbor in the early afternoon. This short trip is sure to relax and entertain you just before finals, as we watch spring emerge in the park and enjoy the unique environment.
No need to have prior experience. Necessary skills will be taught before and during the trip.
