I arrived at Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area and was greeted with stunning views of the sand dunes and Lake Michigan. My sensors registered the location at 44.2667° N, 86.4002° W, and the sand dunes reached as high as 140 feet! The vegetation was diverse, with scrub oak, pine, juniper, and birch trees. The history of the area dates back to the late 19th century, when it was used for logging. Now it is a protected wilderness area, which is evident from the lack of human manipulation. I compared this stunning wilderness area with some I had already visited, and I noted that the unique combination of sand dunes and Lake Michigan make it a truly exceptional place to visit. I learned that camping is allowed in certain areas, and I am sure this would be an experience not to forget. A must-visit for nature lovers!
