ANNUAL SPRING WILDFLOWER HIKE
Sunday, May 4, 2008 - 2:00pm - Empire Bluff Trail in Sleeping Bear Dunes N. L.
Jack Schultz will again lead us on a hike to enjoy the spring wildflowers. It will be at the Empire Bluff Trail in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We will meet at the trailhead just south of the village of Empire. Those coming out from Traverse City should take M-72 into Empire and turn left at the traffic light. Follow M-22 as it goes south out of town and then turn right onto Wilco Road. The trailhead is on your left less than one-half mile from M-22. Anyone coming north on M-22 should turn left onto Wilco Road less than a mile south of Empire. The hike will take us through a hardwood forest and eventually end on the face of the Empire Bluff looking out over Lake Michigan. Length of the round-trip hike is about 1.5 miles and there are a couple of rather steep pitches to the trail but it is well traveled and firm. After the hike, those who wish can assemble at the Empire Village Inn on M-22 for a light supper or brew (or both). We should arrive there by 4 p.m.
