Cover Photo by Blair Celano, Empire MI There are so many amazing hiking trails in West Michigan. We are lucky and thankful for the resources we have. Empire bluff is one of our favorite hikes in Sleeping Bear Dunes and is a yearly tradition. This photo is from our first hike as a family of four. We made it to the overlook with our four year old and our newborn (3 weeks old at the time). Follow along with our adventures on Instagram @celanopics.
