The sand of the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, located in Michigan, primarily originated from the erosion of the surrounding bedrock and glacial deposits. During the last Ice Age, glaciers advanced and retreated, grinding rocks into fine particles. Wind and water then transported these particles, depositing them along the shores of Lake Michigan, where they accumulated to form the dunes we see today. The dynamic interplay of natural processes continues to shape these impressive formations.
