The Sleeping Bear Inn was closed for 50 years, but after a meticulous two-year renovation, it reopened in June.

It's that time of year when you can take your sled along on a trek up the Dune Climb at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Every winter the dune transforms into a massive sledding hill. The park allows sleds, skis, snowboards, toboggans and inflatable tubes in the designated area when it is covered with snow. (Lori Chapman/MLive.com) | MLive.com

Visitors to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore will notice a significant change this year as the popular wooden platform at Lookout Number 9 on the Pierce Stocking Drive has been removed. The platform, which offered breathtaking views of the dunes and Lake Michigan since 1986, was dismantled due to safety concerns caused by shifting sands. https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/shifting-sands-lead-to-removal-of-iconic-platform-at-sleeping-bear-dunes-lookout-number-9 | UpNorthLive
