The first is Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore which is about 3 hours from Grand Rapids. The other is the Silver Lake dune area which is just over an hour northwest of GR. A visit here requires local knowledge about how to get to the dunes out of season - during the summer, you just cross Silver Lake in a boat.<br /><br />If you&#39;ve never been and you have time the dunes are an awesome hiking experience.Rochellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-46014975901343869592009-10-13T08:03:03.267-07:002009-10-13T08:03:03.267-07:00I live in Peterborough, NH and get to enjoy this region everyday and every season - thanks for telling everyone how wonderful it is up here :)Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424370461981285898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-54888898026393159742009-10-12T12:05:18.954-07:002009-10-12T12:05:18.954-07:00You are wearing red!!!Michelle Deanenoreply@blogger.com
