August is winding down, so it’s a great time for a summer hike through Saugatuck Dunes State Park! Stroll through a cool canopy of trees while the leaves are still lush and green. Tie it in with lunch or dinner at one of the area’s unique dining establishments for another perfect summer day in #TheArtCoastofMichigan. 📷 Julien Capmeil, on IG @juliencapmeil #mibeachtowns @saugatuckdouglas #swmichigan ...
