Join a ranger on Fridays and Sundays in July for an opportunity to climb to the top of Indiana Dunes National Park's famous Mount Baldy. The hikes will be offered every Friday night in July from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm and on the following Sunday mornings: July 10, 17, 24, and 31 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. Mount Baldy is closed to general public use due to public safety and restoration concerns, so this ranger-led hike allows visitors to safely experience the beauty and spectacular views from the top of one of the tallest dunes in Indiana Dunes National Park.
Meet at the Mount Baldy parking lot, located off of U.S. Highway 12, just west of Michigan City, Indiana. For more information on this and other programs at Indiana Dunes National Park you can call 219-395-1882.
