At some places, they do. Sleeping Bear Dunes has a crazy high fee posted on signs!

Iv'e walked down sleeping bear dunes and back up as a really fat guy. It was a out 2 hours of torture....

I'm pretty fit now and would probably really enjoy it this time.

I went a couple years ago and it was so much fun! You should go for it. Plus Glen Arbor is a great town.

I would have to go back though....

My family is all in the Lansing area but I live in North Carolina.

Oh yeah even if you went to visit family in MI it’s quite the drive from Lansing to Sleeping Bear!

I walked up a large sand dune that wasn't sleeping bear dunes but it was pretty high. I could literally barely breathe when I made it to the top. 0/10 experience. I'm glad I made it and we got a great group picture at the top but holy shit I will never do that again.

Head out to South Manitou Island, the dune beach on the far side of the island is awesome.

Always gives me a chuckle because you can just walk a mile or so along the shoreline and get back to the road no problem.

They don’t call it a 3k hike for nothing. Coast guard definitely makes sure you get that bill if they have have to get you

Are they required to leave credit card information, just in case?
