点评:This hike was our favorite at Sleeping Bear Dunes. You can do it as a full loop, where some of the return is along a road, but we did it as an out and back hike of about 1 mile total, to the Pyramid Point Overlook and back.
This hike is fairly far north, as the park stretches out along the lake shore, but since we had a car it was pretty easy for us to drive along and stop at the points we were interested in. The parking lot here is a little small, especially since we arrived right about mid-day (11:30 AM) when it was probably busiest. We found a spot without too much trouble, though, and the trail itself didn't feel crowded at all.
The hike took us about 45 minutes overall, including plenty of time at the end of the trail to take photos and admire the views over the lake and North Manitou Island. Much of the trail is in the shade through the woods, and then at the end you come out onto the bluffs overlooking the lake. (And the trail here becomes basically sand, we saw multiple people had removed their shoes.) There were quite a few people at the end with us, but there was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the views.
翻译:这次徒步旅行是我们在睡熊沙丘最喜欢的。您可以将其作为一个完整的循环进行,其中一些返回是沿着道路进行的,但我们将其作为总共约 1 英里的来回徒步旅行,到达金字塔点观景台并返回。
这次徒步旅行相当北,因为公园沿着湖岸延伸,但由于我们有车,所以我们很容易开车沿着并在我们感兴趣的地方停下来。这里的停车场有点小,特别是我们是在中午(上午 11:30)左右到达的,当时可能是最繁忙的时候。不过,我们没费多大劲就找到了一个地点,而且小路本身一点也不拥挤。
这次徒步旅行总共花了我们大约 45 分钟,其中包括在步道尽头有充足的时间拍照并欣赏湖泊和北马尼图岛的景色。步道的大部分都在树林的阴凉处,最后您来到悬崖上,俯瞰着湖泊。 (这里的小路基本上变成了沙子,我们看到很多人都脱掉了鞋子。)最后有不少人和我们在一起,但有足够的空间可以分散并欣赏风景。
