For gorgeous views of countless little lakes and impressive vistas of one very large lake called Lake Michigan, plan a day trip to northwest Michigan.
The towns up and near the M-22 highway provide a delightful road trip to commune with nature and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Add this itinerary / route to a trip to Mackinac Island. That’s what we did…and we loved it.
This route took us from Grand Rapids, Michigan (we flew into Gerald R. Ford International Airport and rented a car) through the cities of Empire, Glen Arbor, Leland, Traverse City, Harbor Springs and ended at Mackinac City.
From Mackinac City, we took a ferry to Mackinac Island - that trip is highlighted in another video.
