Sleeping Bear Dunes

Before our backpacking trip, we spent a day at Sleeping Bear Dunes, being tourists.


A stop on the Pierce Stocking drive

See the Manitou Islands behind the girls?  We're going camping there tomorrow!

Super high dune overlook

We were nuts, and we went down!!

Look how steep!

 
 
We made it to the bottom!!

Looking back up.  Oh no!


It took a lonnnnnnnggggg time and was very difficult!

But we survived!  See the tiny deck on the picture above?  Here we are on the overlook deck.

See the ants on the hill?  Those are people!!

Then we drove to the official Dune Climb, and climbed another dune!  This time up, instead of down.

We got a great hotel in Leland's Fishtown.  Our room is right by Chris' ear!  Right on the water!

Read the sign

Dinner view

Most amazing sunset, as seen from our hotel balcony

We walked to the nearby harbor to see the sunset

Then we played on the beach for a while


There are our islands again!

  1. Wish I could paint. The sunset picture from your hotel room looks like it should be a painting. Gorgeous!
