Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore near Empire, Michigan is a beautiful place to spend a day. We went there back on August, but I realized that I forgot to post about it. The scenery is unbelievable and if you are adventurous you can climb up the dunes. It is named for a rock formation that looks (kinda) like a sleeping bear. Black bears are plentiful in this area, so I can see why someone got that idea.

| This is a 450 foot super steep dune that they discourage people to climb. It goes down to the water but takes 2 hours to climb up. If you need to be rescued on this dune, they charge you a fine of as much as $2000. There are lost of other dunes there that you can climb instead. |
