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 6.8 mile stretch of the dunes. Saturday night we will camp in a backcountry site well away from roads of any kind, and appreciate the night just within the forest high above the dunes of Lake Michigan. On Sunday, we will hike 3.8 miles and depart for Ann Arbor in the early afternoon. This short trip is sure to relax and entertain you as you learn to appreciate the natural beauty in the park, and enjoy the unique environment.
