As a native from Michigan that likes to hike; Pyramid Point is not what I would have picked. But I guess in contrast to what the other states have to offer, our dunes on the lake probably stand out as unique to the traveler even though I'm used to them to the point where I'm bored with them. Interesting.

As a fellow Michigander, it baffles me that Pyramid Point was picked here too. Especially given all of the trails in the Upper Peninsula and the Huron Mountains.

I was expecting Pictured Rocks.

Thankfully it's not. As beautiful as Pictured Rocks are, it's so over-recommended that it's making Michigan look like a one-trick pony.

It's a little strange. Since most people will just hike straight out and back, it's barely a mile-long hike. However, there are some beautiful trails nearby to the East off the end of W Lake Michigan Rd, and of course the Bay View trail system just to the West. If you get creative you can link them all up, and that might be a worthy contender for best hike in Michigan.
