(Inside Science) — On the shores of Lake Michigan, near the northeastern tip of Indiana Dunes National Park, an approximately 125-foot-high dune rises into the air. Named Mount Baldy, the crescent-shaped mound is arguably the most famous sand dune in the park. Rangers lead visitors on summer hikes to the top.
“You get some gorgeous views,” said Kelly Caddell, a park ranger who leads some of the group hikes. Mount Baldy is part of a 15,000-acre site, which received National Park status in February 2019.
