Traverse City Road Trip - Discover the top things to see and do!

A Traverse City road trip around the lower peninsula of Michigan embodies everything a road tripper could want-there are curvy roads that induce a desire to see around the next bend; Roadside farm stands spilling over with fresh produce; Cobalt blue water set against a backdrop of hardwood trees set ablaze by the changing season-to dramatic Photoshopped-looking sunsets.For a complete Traverse City Road Trip Guide, click the following link: www.mikesroadtrip.com/travers...

    We were amazed at how beautiful the Leelanau peninsula was & all the great little towns...Suttons Bay, Leland, Northport. And the we did a winery trip in Old Mission peninsula. This is truly a hidden treasure in North America.

    I wouldn't really call it a hidden treasure. There are millions of people that visit the Traverse City area every year. I grew up in the area you should have seen it in the 1970s then it was a hidden treasure. Now it's nothing but mansions on every Hill half the trees have been cut down nothing but traffic everywhere you go. And everything is way overpriced. I'm glad I don't live in that area anymore. I feel like it's been completely ruined.

    Mike's Road Trip , you’re so welcome! Have you taken the most famous road trip of all here in the States? The US Route 66 road trip. Over 2400 miles strong. A very beautiful and enjoyable trip with the added blast through the past. I’ve driven through the California, Arizona and New Mexico sections, and for awhile lived nearby in the foothills of Pasadena. Probably best to do in Spring and/or Fall. Cheers!
