We had a great hike on this sunny Sunday afternoon, through a variety of terrains- woods, dunes, oak savannah, and along frozen lagoons, arriving at Lake Michigan and all its splendor!

Some chose to walk along the beach before returning on the same path; some went directly back.

We saw a lot of beaver activity- many downed or partially chewed trees and beaver lodges in the lagoons we passed.

Downhillers and Cross Country members both, and some non-members comprised our group- and Bella the Dog joined us.

Few others used the trail that day- it was all ours!
