Mt. Baldy Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore

At the top of the steps on the 'beach' trail

The beach from the bottom of the 'beach' trail

It's hard to tell, but we're at the TOP of Mt.Baldy here.  You can sorta tell in the background how far up we look tho from the trees and Lake Michigan in the background.

 From the area in the above picture there was another trail down to a different beach area.  I was taking the pictures and decided not to dip my toes into the lake...

The downside of going down?  Having to go back UP!  OH.MY.Goodness!  And this shot was  over 1/2way back up.
