Joel Dinda's photos with the keyword: pyramid point

The "official" trail from the Pyramid Point trailhead is a bit under three miles and includes a side-path to the top of the bluff; that's where yesterday's photo was taken. Further down the trail we found this alternative route up the back of the dune; quite steep, and perhaps a hundred foot climb. Takes you to a different point on the bluff, and a view of Good Harbor Bay. Besides the steep path, this particular spot is delightful because it plainly demonstrates that dunes are impermanent, as the hill atop Pyramid Point is obviously migrating, and taking a bite out of the woods behind the sandpile.

Of all places I know, my favorite.

Another view from atop Pyramid Point, looking inland this time. That's Shell Lake around the center of the photo, and Good Harbor Bay (Lake Michigan) peeking in on the left....

Best LARGE! Somehow I'd never climbed Pyramid Point before. The view is--well, judge for yourself. All the land in view is part of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. South Manitou Island to the left, & North Manitou to the right. Manitou Passage Light is visible out in the channel.

Pyramid Point, and South Manitou Island. And that lake. Camera: Nikon N90s. 1999.

Good Harbor Bay, on Lake Michigan, looking toward Pyramid Point. A different sunset from yesterday's photo , but another photo from Jolli-Lodge on the same 1999 weekend.
