Sleeping Bear Dunes will be featured on a post stamp released next year. The illustration features a sweeping view of the sandy beach, Lake Michigan waves and the towering dunes. 

The stamp will be a Priority Mail Express stamp and cost $24.70, according to the postal service. 

The national park is no stranger to the spotlight. In 2011, "Good Morning America" named Sleeping Bear Dunes the nation's most beautiful spot. More than 1 million people visit the park every year and climb the dunes, hike forest trails and take in the sweeping views.
