Nice drive, great views at various points. The trails off the drive can be fun to walk, but do some research on them or ask before you walk them. My husband and I started down a trail without knowing where it went, and decided to turn back after a while. Turned out it was a mountain bike trail that went... More

If you don't think the Midwest has mountains, you need to pay a visit to this very scenic drive. We drove all the way to the gift shop at the end and enjoyed the late summer scenery and convienent parking places to snap photos.

Yes there sure are! The Keweenaw peninsula is a hilly place and the hills get fairly big as you get closer to Copper Harbor. The rocky cliffs and the great views of Lake Superior are well worth the drive up to the lookout. More

You can't get a much nicer view of the area than from the top of Brockway mountain. The drive up is really nice too. Really nice when the eagles and hawks are migrating. You can see close to a hundred soaring at one time in the area. More

One of the prettiest drives in Michigan. Makes most of the travel guides as a "don't miss". It's true. Take or make the time. More

Take your time, as the road is rough and steep in places but the views are well worth it. Especially great when the leaves are changing colors in the fall. Take a picnic lunch along if the weather is agreeable. More
