Chuck > The slight bump with darker grass, towards the right of this picture, is the top of the "Sleeping Bear Dune" for which the park is named.  (Here is the Ojibwa legend which gives the dune its name.)  It was more impressive a few hundred years ago, but dunes are built up and torn down relatively quickly by erosion.  Older pictures of the dune, along with a slightly different version of the legend, can be found here.

In the distance are the Manitou Islands.
Chuck > The observation platform.  Unfortunately, the sunset was mostly obscured by clouds this day, but it was still quite beautiful.

Chuck > The natural movement of the dunes due to erosion have exposed the roots of this tree.
