2012 Prescribed Grassland Burn in the Arcadia Dunes Nature Preserve
A timelapsed glimpse of a prescribed grassland burn at the Arcadia Dunes Nature Preserve! As noted by Angie of the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy, 'the burn will speed up the establishment of native warm season grasses and wildflowers, while reducing invasive species. This process benefits wildlife by providing proper habitat.'

West Michigan Mountain Bike Trails: Arcadia Dunes
The Arcadia Dunes mountain bike trail is located right along the Lake Michigan lakeshore in the northern part of the state. It's one of the most scenic single track trails I've ridden, including a couple of views of Lake Michigan from the trail. Its about 12.5 miles long for the large loop, but there is a short, 2ish mile loop that utilizes the western part of the main loop with a cut-off. The trail has a fair amount of elevation to it, so you'll definitely get a good cardio work out, and it also has some great technical sections that will improve your handling abilities.
The day I rode the trail, there had been quite a bit of rain and some wind so several trees were down and the trail was a bit slick (no mud, though) and littered with sticks so I had to take it a bit slower than I would have liked. This is a destination trail in my opinion, and definitely worth driving to ride.

Incredible building site perfectly ready for you to begin your building plans. This 3.54 acres of lush, thick woods is wonderfully secluded along a peaceful, scenic, winding road only about a mile from LAKE MICHIGAN, steps from over 1,000 acres of the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy hiking and biking trails, and wildlife galore within view. With the survey done, and the driveway in, permits have been granted for building. The hard part is complete and now the fun begins! Here, you feel like you're in a state park. Raspberry bushes galore! There's even firewood ready for an evening campfire. Very near the CS Mott Nature Preserve (3800 acre forest, dune & grass land) which is permanently protected. Steps from Old Baldy and St Pierre Trailheads.

Endangered: Saugatuck Dunes
Along the shores of Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Kalamazoo River, the 2,500 acres that comprise the Saugatuck Dunes Coastal Area boast a sparsely-developed landscape of spectacular beaches, rare freshwater dunes, water, woods, and wetlands. However, this cultural landscape is now threatened by a proposed 400-acre residential development, including marina, hotel, restaurant, and retail complex - all prohibited by local zoning laws.
Michigan Legacy Art Park at Crystal Mountain
That time we visited a sculpture park in the woods made by aliens.
During our trip to Crystal Mountain, the grounds had an amazing outdoor art walk we wanted to experience. It's called the Michigan Legacy Art Park and it was fantastic! We decided all of the sculptures must have been created by aliens- what do you think?
