Epic Michigan road trip😍

Share this with someone you want to road trip through Michigan with!

📍Frankfort, MI - A small coastal town with great fishing, lighthouses, a quaint downtown with yummy restaurants and some of the best ice cream in the state - Moomers! Highly recommend walking out to the Frankfort Lighthouse.

📍Crystal Lake - right on the town of Beulah - this is one of the most beautiful lakes we’ve ever seen. I would recommend checking out the town too, but absolutely kayak or paddle board or spend time at the beach on Crystal Lake!

📍Sleeping Bear Dunes - This is such an incredible experience, but definitely takes work! I recommend hiking to get to Lake Michigan at the end. It’s about 4 miles round trip and through sand dunes. Bring lots of water and a hat because there is very little shade.

📍Traverse City - This is a beautiful city right along the water. So many restaurants - I highly recommend eating at Harrington’s by the bay, Taproot Cider House and The Tasting Room. You also HAVE to go to the original Moomers for the best ice cream in Michigan.

📍Mackinac Island - You’re not driving here, but you can drive to St. Ignace or Mackinac City and take the ferry over to explore! The island has no motor vehicles so I recommend bringing a bike or renting one. There are also horse and carriages. The island is known for its fudge - and you definitely want to check out the old fort and the arch rock.

📍Copper Harbor - last but absolutely not least - head to the upper peninsula and explore Copper Harbor! We fell in love with the UP. Make sure you drive Brockway Mountain, check out horseshoe harbor and stop by Jamsen’s bakery!
