Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

After our bike ride we drove over to Sleeping Bear National Dunes Lakeshore which is on the northwestern shore of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. We drove the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive. This 7.1 mile route has views of Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Lake, and Lake Michigan. Some of bluffs/dunes are as high as 460 feet. We did not climb the dunes but it was still quite exciting. It was a really neat drive, even though we drove along the coast the route took you through dense forests. I'm glad we went early it was nice and cool with clear skies and light traffic. When we were leaving there was a lot of traffic heading into the park and about twenty cars at the entrance.
