We got to Sleeping Bear on a Thursday around noon expecting to get a site for a few days, but it was not to be. The park was full because it had recently been voted as the most beautiful National Park by Good Morning America viewers. We were able to find a private campground just outside the park so we could easily visit several historic and scenic sites. It is a truly beautiful park.
This is view looking across the dunes from the highest point above Lake Michigan 450 feet above the water. This is just one of the views along the must see Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive.
At this stop on the Scenic Drive you can walk out on a 1.5 mile trail through the dunes exploring the dune formations and plant life.
The highlight of the dunes walk is reaching this overlook high above the lake. Sleeping Bear is a beautiful park we would recommend to everyone.
This is the view from our side window in the campground at Petosky State Park. What else can I say? (A picture is worth at least one thousand of my words.)
I love this picture of the sun reflecting off the waves.
The sun had just dropped below the horizon giving this colorful combination of water, sunlight and clouds. Petosky is another of Michigan’s great parks.
