Drive along the shore of northern Lake Michigan during summer or explore the region at a slow pace on bike or foot. Start out in Traverse City by grabbing a bite to eat at the authentic 1950s-era Don’s Drive-In, where carhops serve you. Bike the hilly countryside of Leelanau Peninsula and then roam around the steep sand piles of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Continue north through Petoskey and Harbor Springs, where one of the prettiest drives in the state begins, and then camp a night in Wilderness State Park.
