pyramid point trail印象

It is a great place to see some dunes and not pay for any parking. Beautiful drive in the back country to find this gem.

We've been vacationing in northern Michigan for years and somehow overlooked this particular hike on our many trips to the area. I've always been a fan of Pierce Stocking Drive and all the beautiful views from the various overlooks. This is another one of those fantastic views. The day we were there it was somewhat hazy in the distance so our view of the Manitou islands was limited - I'd love to return on a clearer day and spend more time. Bring water and a camera. I wish I had been wearing tennis shoes instead of flip flops - the gravel on the descent tends to move under your feet as you are walking - better traction would have helped. As mentioned by other writers, there are various hikes to take - we started the meadow hike but when we realized that we were descending with no end in site (the trail marker does not mention how long the hike is - check at the trail head for a better idea of length), we elected to skip it - having no desire to hike UP when we were done.

Short easy hike. Well worth the amazing view once you get up there.If you were on a budget, and didn't want to pay the $10 for the Sleeping Bear scenic drive, do this trail, and the sunset at Empire Bluff Trail, and there is two breaktaking free views!Follow the signs advice...if you aren't in excellent shape, and work out regularly, do NOT try going to bottom of dune. Go down a 1/4, then come back up, and be thankful when you realize that was more than enough!

Since I have mobility issues, we meandered roads I don't think we were supposed to be on, but found breathtaking scenery and peaceful woodlands.

This overlook and trail were a high point of our trip. It was incredible beautiful and peaceful place.

We hiked Pyramid Point but we didn't go down the dune to Lake Michigan. We've done this before at Pierce Stocking Drive so we know how difficult it is to climb back up. The view of the 2 Manitou Islands, the Manitou Passage and the 2 Fox Islands was beautiful. We had hoped to hear and see more birds as we hiked through the woods and the meadow but there weren't many. We enjoyed this hike.

We took the trail straight to the Lake Michigan overlook. The trail to the overlook was about 0.7 miles but the pretty views were worth the effort. Even though the trail was busy, we were still able to find a secluded spot at the overlook and it felt as though we had the point to ourselves. There was a meadow loop portion to the trail to make it into a longer hike, but we had to skip it due to time.Bring water, bug spray, and a camera for this hike.

My partner and I visited in early October 2014. We had to hunt a bit to find the trailhead (the park service maps aren't the best) and were rushing a bit to arrive with time to get to the top before sunset.Nice, although a bit steep and heart-pounding, hike through a white birch forest -- maybe 20 minutes -- to reach the overlook. While the view is indeed impressive (and the few other visitors present were inching WAY TOO NEAR the edge of the dune for my comfort; see posted signs for safety and note, rescue is performed at a fee!), we were disappointed that at this time of year, the sunset is not viewable from the top of the bluff (probably is in June-July, when sun sets further north on the horizon).There is one fallen tree you can sort of sit on (but probably not for much longer, as it looks to be getting overtaken by sand) but otherwise, don't expect to linger long. You pretty much hike up, look around for a bit, then turn around and go back. Enjoy the view!

Nice hike thought the woods, gradual uphill slopes that are medium difficulty. Beautiful View at the end with a steep dune down to the water if you are feeling adventurous.

This is a great trail both for the beautiful view at the top, as well as varied woods and meadow terrains. Nice climbs up/down hills are challenging, but not difficult.
