Unfortunately, I have never seen a mammoth while hiking on the #IceAgeTrail. I may have hiked overtop of them without ever knowing it though.

Molash Creek marks the northern edge of the Point Beach Ridges State Natural Area (SNA #87). The SNA includes 11 alternating ridges and swales and is home to some rare and uncommon plant life.

The Swales nature trail is a short hike through the forest and includes educational signs about the Great Lakes' dune and swale (or ridge and swale) ecosystem.

The 1929 Grover/Smith Cabin is located along the Rawley Point Recreational Trail in the Point Beach State Forest. In front of the cabin is a small sign explaining when it was built and when it was restored (2003).

Me, with the incredible Point Beach State Forest setting the scene.

Me, with the incredible Point Beach State Forest setting the scene.

It's me. While hiking in the #PointBeachStateForest. Unsure if this was on the #IceAgeTrail or Ridges trail, but it was somewhere near where they intersect.

As much as I love prairie, this forest is one of my favorite places in the state.

The night sky on the beach along the #PointBeachStateForest. You can see light pollution from three Michigan cities all the way across Lake Michigan. The cities producing this light are -from left to right- Manistee (57 miles away), Ludington (55 miles away), and Muskegon (90 miles away).
