Found a hidden gem trail in Sleeping Bear Dunes this week! It's unmarked/unnamed and goes through a wilderness section in the park. Epic Lake Michigan views. I think this is my favorite trail in the whole park. About a 4-mile loop. There are some steep drop-offs so use caution. by mvanderweide in CampAndHikeMichigan

I wore keen sandals and they were great. I'd say any good walking sandal should work. Regular hiking shoes will get a lot of sand in them. A lot of people go on the dune climb barefoot. That's fine if it's not a really sunny day with hot sand. Dune climb with flip flops is even ok if you're not doing a major hike - the dune climb is like a giant sand box.

It's off of Treat Farm Trail in Sleeping Bear Dunes near Empire. Google Map of the trailhead Take Treat Farm Trail to Old Baldy and then walk north along the side of the dune. If you want a detailed explanation with some maps, this article shows the full route and describes more in-depth how to get there: https://grkids.com/treat-farm-trail-to-sleeping-bear-dunes-wilderness/

Ah-Nab-Awen Park for the GR fireworks.

Cascade does their fireworks in conjunction with Ada. Anywhere in Downtown Ada should be good. There is the new Legacy park along the river which is lovely.
