Trail 9, Indiana Dunes State Park
We got lucky again with another fall event. Weather was perfect for a hike at the Dunes. We all met at the National Lakeshore Visitor Center and then carpooled into the state park. There were about 12 of us and it worked out great.
Trail 9 can be challenging. The majority of the trail is a bit rolling, and there is one big dune to climb. We generally take the less challenging side up to the top. But there are plenty of ups and downs to remind us we are getting in a good workout no matter which was we go.
Welcome to Doug, a new hiker. Although not yet a member, we certainly did our best to encourage him to join our group.
