| The sand along Lake Michigan in Northwest Michigan is of superior quality. |
 |
| We brought our swimsuits but ended up hiking the trails along the beach, the dunes, the ravines, and the forest. |
 |
| The water is very clear. |
 |
| 150 feet from the beach, you are in a comfortably cool forest. The temp was 76F at 1:00pm. |
 |
| The forest belends into the dunes and then the beach. |
 |
| Lake Michigan National Forest is a wilderness along the lake between Ludington and Manistee. It has nice beaches and several campgrounds. Looking south from an observation deck we climbed. |
 |
| View from the deck to Lake Michigan. |
 |
| There were 169 steps but a level walk in between every 7 - 10 steps so the climb was not bad. |
So the experience of going to the "beach" minus the salt? I'm in.
