Michigan Vacation Highlights

Highlights of our 2014 summer family vacation to Michigan. We spent much time at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore including the Dunes Climb, Platte River Point, the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive and the Sleeping Bear Point Maritime Museum. Towns we visited included Empire, Glen Arbor and Leland on the famed M-22 Michigan Highway as well as Traverse City, Elk Rapids, Bellaire and Petoskey up north and Saugatuk, South Haven and St. Joseph in the southwest corner along Lake Michigan.

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a United States National Lakeshore located along the northwest coast of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan in Leelanau and Benzie counties near Empire, Michigan. The park covers a 35-mile-long stretch of Lake Michigan's eastern coastline, as well as North and South Manitou islands. This Northern Michigan park was established primarily because of its outstanding natural features, including forests, beaches, dune formations, and ancient glacial phenomena. The lakeshore also contains many cultural features including the 1871 South Manitou Island Lighthouse, three former stations of the Coast Guard and an extensive rural historic farm district. In 2011, the area won the title of The Most Beautiful Place in America from Good Morning America. In 2014, a section of the park was named the Sleeping Bear Dunes Wilderness by the United States Congress.
