Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
People don’t usually equate Indiana with beautiful, sandy beaches, but maybe it’s time they started to. Did you know that there are parts of Indiana that are so perfectly beachy that you might just forget you’re still in the Hoosier state? It’s true! In fact, Cowles Bog Trail In Indiana offers such breathtaking views of Lake Michigan that we think you’ll come back over and over despite the moderate difficulty level of the hike. It’s beautiful and amazingly diverse – you’ll soon see what we mean.
Cowles Bog Trail in Indiana is easily one of the best hiking trails in Indiana. It’s open daily, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and dogs are welcome on a leash. There is no cost of admission; this Hoosier gem is totally free to enjoy. The most heavily-tracked months are from May to October, though we can promise you the views will take your breath away even in the coldest of months. There’s nothing quite like seeing all of the plants in bloom, though. For more information, including information about the region and any potential closures, please visit the NPS.gov website.
