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. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Dunes_National_Lakeshore} |
