Indiana Dunes State Park

About 45 minutes from #chicago

We walked through two different hike trails and walked a total of 9.6 miles of easy- rugged terrain

It was like we went through all four seasons in one trip

Gorgeous views, great for #birdwatching

⭐️Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

It costs us about 12 bucks to get in but because we went on St. Pats day, nearly no one was there so it was a almost a whole park to ourselves
