at Mount Baldy - July 29, 2010 |
| Mount Baldy is a sand dune located
west of Michigan City, Indiana. At 123 feet tall, it is one of the tallest
sand dunes on the southern shore of Lake Michigan. It is a wandering dune
that moves an average of 4 feet every year, and is called a "living
dune." Visitors can hike 0.7 miles up the dune and from the top, on
a clear day, can view Chicago's skyline and the south shore. North of Mount
Baldy is a swimming beach. As of early 2007 the dune hike to the summit
is closed due to erosion of the dune, however a new trail through the forest
will still take hikers to the summit. this quote is from From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Dunes_National_Lakeshore} |
