INDIANA DUNES NATIONAL PARK: Join a ranger for a hike on one of the park’s most treasured trails on Sunday, October 2 from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm. The Dune Succession Trail highlights the four stages of dune development within its one-mile length. This scenic, but strenuous trail includes a climb up 270 stairs for a spectacular view of Lake Michigan and Chicago. You will also learn about the legend and real life of early dune’s conservation advocate Alice Gray, also known as Diana of the Dunes. 

Meet at the West Beach parking lot, which is located at 376 North County Line Road in Portage. For more information on this or other programs at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, call 219-395-1882 or visit our website at www.nps.gov/indu and our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/IndianaDunesNPS.
