You gotta try it out! Get your tags, flag, and air down those tires!

Looks like a quiet day on the dunes, it's nice to have relaxing days like this.

Those are my favorite times to go!

I see the new Dune ready entrance looks pretty efficient.. Hoping to get out there this year again.

Reminds me of Desert Storm! We did a lot of that. Thanks for sharing.

Silver Lake, as far as I know, is the only place in Michigan that has dunes that vehicles are allowed on. It’s fun to head up there a couple times a year.

Silver lake is a beautiful area with gorgeous dunes you can tackle or just watch the fun.

Right. Definitely one of the quieter weekends I’ve been out there. I once went in October before it closed for the year and we had the place to ourselves.

The Michigan ORV and ORV Trail Tags. I think it’s around $45-$50 for both of them and good for all year.

Were you wheelin in 4hi/traction control off the whole time or were there parts to go in 4lo?

I honestly stick in four low most of not all the time. I don’t feel the need to drive fast through the dunes.

You should be in control of the times of going up and down again

I’m going Friday for the first time. Do you remember what your speed was going up that first hill?

Honestly couldn’t tell you. Once you get passed the woops at the bottom, just peg it. Having low tire pressure is key to getting up test hill.

@@TrailExpedition thank you! Is the top flat enough that I will have time to slow down once I’m at the top. My irrational fear is accidentally pulling some Evel Knievel stunt and I will then be outed as the total Noob that I am. 😂👀

The last time I was there, it was very flat on the top so plenty of room to slow down. However, the dunes are constantly changing. Have fun!

In my country, the sand is so soft that it is annoying 🙂

You can order them online or you can buy one right at the entrance to the dunes. There are two shops there that sell all kinds of off-road items.

@@TrailExpedition thank you brother I just went yesterday and had a blast in my gx460. No issues on stock tires. For anyone reading this with a gx lock your center diff. I noticed a big difference on the sand locked and unlocked.

Right on. Good to hear it was a pleasant experience. Low tire pressure is key for floating on the sand as opposed to sinking into it.
