    I hope they do this again post covid. I went here as a teen in like 98 and it was amazing. Completely mind-blowing. Climbing old baldy, jumping in lake Michigan with the Polar bears every morning before sunrise, doing the morning and evening reflections while watching the sunrise or set over the lake. Simply magical.
