Up the Pyramid

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.
