One place I went to twice this week was the West Beach. This is a small part of the Indiana Dunes National Park. It is a beautiful beach, that some day I would love to spend a day at, the water was extrememly cold, but it is still early in the year.
To the right is just one of the many dunes in the park. These dunes are simply huge. To see that amount of sand and knowing that they really move as the wind and waves push them around. One dune has started moving over a trail, covering all the smaller plants, leaving only the trees and tall bushes visible.
This is definitly a park to come to, but plan to come for a full day in the sun. It does cost per car to get in, but is free after 6PM. While it was fun to get around paying, I really feel that there were better pictures of Chicago in the morning waiting for me.
Maybe this would be a nice place to visit during the Olympics in 2016.
