Jackson, Mt. Holden, and Mt. Tom. The hike is 1.5 miles long with 552 feet of elevation gain!!!Don’t worry we will take it slow to ensure successful completion of the 3 Dunes Challenge for all hikers!!HIKE DESCRIPTION: The 3 Dune Challenge is a loop. It starts on trail 8, then switches to trail 4, and the last part of the trail is on a paved road through the campground. The entire route is well marked with colorful “3 Dune Challenge” signs.The first dune we will climb is Mt. Jackson. This portion of the hike is steep and sandy. Be warned there is a brief false summit before we arrive at the actual summit after climbing 176 feet, the smallest of the dunes for the day.From Mt. Jackson, we get to walk downhill, at least for a little bit. At the bottom of Mt. Jackson, the trail briefly levels out before it starts its climb up to the top of Mt. Holden.Then it’s a long steep descent down Mt. Holden. To get to the top of Mt. Tom, we do not have to hike up a deep, sandy, steep trail. Instead, we get to climb a lot of stairs. These stairs may be a nice reprieve from the sand of the previous dunes!From Mt. Tom, we will hike down a series of staircases, walk through the woods, and then walk through the campground to get back to the parking lot. So, once we get to the top of Mt. Tom, it’s all downhill and very easy for the rest of the hike.And if we snap a selfie on top of one of the dunes and post it on social media with the tag #3DuneChallenge, we can visit the Nature Center after our hike and claim our 3 Dunes bumper sticker or even purchase a T-shirt as badge of honor for completing the challenge.PARK FEES: Indiana State Parks charge a daily fee of $7 per vehicle for residents or $20 per vehicle for non-residents. You can also buy an annual pass if you will be visiting more than times per year at $50 per resident or $120 per non-resident.MEETING LOCATION AND DIRECTIONS: We will meet at the Indiana Dunes Nature Center located at 1600 North 25 E.
