Indiana Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Trail 4 - Indiana Dunes State Park

#passionpassport This little hike gets your heart pumping a bit with the elevation. Awesome views, and option for a nice walk along the beach or a swim in the middle. This is also part of three dunes challenge. There are many wooden stairs which looks nice and fascinating. It’s a easy hike but still provides much heart pumping moments. It’s a loop hike and ends at camping area and can walk back to nature center. Trsils are East to do bare foot rather than wearing shoes. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #travelinspiration #travelusa #campingglamping #hiking #hikingtrails #hikingadventures #traveladdict

Three Dunes Challenge Hike

#passionpassport To complete The 3 Dune Challenge, a person must run or hike a special 1.5 mile course at Indiana Dunes State Park, climbing Mount Jackson (elevation 176 feet), Mount Holden (184 feet), and Mount Tom (192 feet). Some parts of the trail feature 40-degree slopes, making each step that much more, well, challenging. In the sandy vertical climbs, it’s common to take two steps forward and slide one step back. This was fun and in some parts tough hike. You can see park overlook point and beaches while hiking up. Fun and good hike. Must do if you are visiting Indiana Dunes. #beautifuldestinations #passionpassport

Three Dunes Challenge - Indiana Dunes

#passionpassport Such a Fun hike in sand path and greenery paths. Most of the stretch of three Dune challenge in Indiana Dunes State Park is easy and full of sand which makes it fun to walk and tiring. View is pleasant and there is also a Overlook to Beach, Beach view is so amazing. Beach is beautiful and clean. A must do thing in Indiana Dunes. To take this Challenge and complete all 3 dunes.

Time to travel back home. Will come again Indy... by God grace

Small but surprisingly modern airport

I had a 6hr layover at the Indianapolis airport and it was surprising comfortable. Seats were large, soft, comfortable and I was lucky enough to find one with a back! Food options were not my favorite but a poke bowl carried me until I was home!

Mount Baldy Hike - Indiana Dunes

#passionpassport Mt Baldy Dunes comes in Indiana Dunes National Park. It is on the southern shore of Lake Michigan and is 126 feet tall. It is a wandering dune that moves or shifts every year, and is called a "living dune. Hike to top of mount Baldy is easy and fun as when we limb sand slips down and make it fun. From top central beach and Michigan Lake looks beautiful and gets overlook view. Beach is also clean and people enjoy with friends solo and kids. Sand on Mt Baldy is fine and gets hot in summer time. It was nice hike and really enjoyed the view from top. #passionpassport #travelinspiration #beachlife #traveladdict

#passionpassport Indiana Dunes now have 2 different parks, One is under state - Indiana Dunes State Park and a new park comes under National State Park. Mt Baldy is in National Park and require National Park Pass for vehicles. This pass can be purchased online or in the park. Hike to Central Beach was nice and short.

Circle of Lights

The Circle of Lights, presented by IBEW 481, is an event that takes place on Monument Circle in downtown Indy. Each year the Soldiers & Sailors monument is decorated like a Christmas tree to celebrate the holiday season. The kickoff also features live music and other entertainment. "Shining A Light," a multi-million dollar light and audio show, also transforms the circle "into a life-size snow globe," according to Downtown Indy, Inc. #christmas #landmark #timetotravel

Lucas Oil Stadium amazed me seeing this great structure with convertable roofing style. A great place to watch a game indeed or just to walk around the stadium. The food prices is quite expenssive but that's expected during big events. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
