Mount Baldy | Discovery Trail | Indiana Dunes

The largest "living" dune in the National Park, Mount Baldy moves about four feet every year, burying everything in its path, including trees. While the beach is open year-round, all hikes to the summit must be led by authorized rangers. Learn more at https://www.indianadunes.com/.

DISCOVERY TRAIL
Nestled in Northwest Indiana, on the shores of the massive freshwater sea of Lake Michigan, is a remarkable place, a unique landscape carved by immense glaciers during the last ice age. As these frozen giants slowly receded, they left behind a cornucopia of natural wonders, from sandy beaches and majestic dunes to sprawling wetlands and lush forests. The Indiana Dunes is one of the most biodiverse areas in the United States, and we’ve made a self-guided tour so you can easily create your own outdoor itinerary. The best part? The Discovery Trail pass is free, but entrance fees apply where applicable. Learn more at IndianaDunes.com/Discovery-Trail.
