Indiana was one of those states.
Sure, I’ve crossed into Indiana multiple times since we’re so close to the border, but my only touristy memories were of going to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. Honestly, I don’t remember much and most likely didn’t really care about either one.
I was trying to find some other things to do in Indiana and I came across the only national park- Indiana Dunes!
Roman and I left Friday afternoon and had a 4.5 hour drive. We stopped at Cool Creek Park Nature Center in Carmel, IN to break up the drive and stretch our legs. We did the Beech Trail which took about 20 min and wasn’t that exciting.
We made it to our condo just as the sun was setting!
On Saturday, I woke up to see the sunrise from the condo and it was beautiful! I couldn’t go back to sleep so we started our adventure!
Our first stop was the West Beach Dune Succession trailhead. It was nice because at 7:30am no one was really there and it wasn’t too hot!
I think it was my favorite trail that we did!
We then went to Calumet dunes trailhead which was kind of lame, followed by Mt Baldy.
After that we went back to the condo, had lunch, and took a little siesta.
We went back out around 2pm and tried the Tolleston dune trails, but it was hot, Roman was tired and we didn’t make it that far.
We also stopped at Portage lakefront and river walk and then got Roman a pup cup from Dairy Queen for being such a good boy!
The next day we drove back home, but not without making a pit stop at Albanese home of the BEST gummies !!
