Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore: Cowles Bog Loop and Heron Rookery Trail

Spent my Saturday morning hiking the Cowles Bog Loop and the Heron Rookery Trail at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. The wildflowers were excellent, especially the lupines and phlox. I probably saw 25 different species of birds and although the water was still way too cold for a swim it was still a beautiful morning at the beach.
