Sleepy Bear Sand Dunes - Michigan



Last week, while visiting my friends in Lower Michigan, I went to the Sleep Bear Sand Dunes on Lake Michigan for the first time. I couldn't believe how beautiful they were! The colors were amazing!! The sky was blue, Lake Michigan was clear and the sand was perfect!! 

These are a few photos from our day adventure to the Sand Dunes. Enjoy:)



Before heading to the Sand Dunes, we picked up a few sandwiches from Leland to eat on this beach. After we ate lunch we skipped a few rocks on the lake and then headed to the sand dunes!



My friends and I decided to drive around the park and stopped at the various look out spots along the way. 


I love covered bridges! - Photo taken while my friend was driving. I had body and camera hanging outside the backseat window to get this shot. 


Sand Dunes!! and Lake Michigan! 


It was a hot day, and there were many people on the dunes. Not many people ventured to the bottom. It was steep and too hot to climb up. 


Peaceful and beautiful!

Amazing view! 


The beach we stopped at and ate lunch. 








I went down the dunes a little bit, but gave up because it was too hot to climb back up.
