I was there at the very end of September and they had just started to turn. Peak was going to be in about two weeks however people told me had we waited until peak it would've been bumper-to-bumper. Traffic flowed nicely and it was just a beautiful. Highlights were Legs Inn, a few coffee shops that had some random farmers markets and just the beauty of the trees! I would definitely do this again it didn't matter what time of the year it is!

If you're into scenic drives and you sometimes ignore your GPS and go off-route in order to get to…read morecool spots along the way, Tunnel of Trees is a detour that you should definitely take. It's part of a route that runs along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan around Harbor Springs and it's super calm, has a rural/rustic vibe, and is just generally a really nice drive. It's also in the vicinity of the Good Hart General Store, so if you head this way you'll get a chance to stop there and check out their goods as well. Check it out if you're in the area or passing through. It's worth it!

Anyway, the shops are teeny tiny but pack a wallop by being beautifully curated and uniquely configured. I think I purchased more here than I have at any other shopping excursion I've had all year. They've got a shop dedicated to alpaca wool goods, a more gentleman focused shop called the Haberdashery, a pet boutique, a used bookstore, a toy store, and many others including my favorite of them all, Moonstruck Gardens, which is packed full of delightful art, stickers, home decor, and more. They also have dining options and a coffee shop if you're thirsty or a little peckish. The layout can be a little confusing but there's plenty of signage to help you along the way. But the beauty of it is just exploring and finding the fun around every corner.

On a summertime trip Up North, we decided to check out the SkyBridge on Boyne Mountain…read more After a quick sprint through the Bavarian style ski resort below, we boarded the ski lift to the top. As we soared high above the meadows, we saw deer lazily grazing at the edges of the small groves that dotted the way to the top. After exiting the lift at the top, we walked a short distance to the suspension bridge. I'm not a fan of heights, but I felt very secure on the bridge, even at the points where it is furthest from the ground. We were rewarded with a fun apres-ski setup on the other side and access to some meandering trails. We hung out for a short while before taking the lift back down. Definitely a great spot to check out while you're nearby!

The fireplace and adult beverages at the top was a nice surprise! We hopped off the 8 person chair lift to a very nice area including bathrooms. Today, however, was a completely different story. I took my girls, husband, and 80 year old father-in-law based on how things were in the fall. No 8 person chair lift. Instead we took 2 person slow as he!! chair lifts to the top on the opposite side, got off where tons off skiers were, and had to walk over their ski path as there was no actual walking path. Not ideal for an 80 year old. There was no fireplace, bathrooms, or beverages in this side. They were, however, on the other side and that was very nice. I don't recommend this place in the early spring. The fall was gorgeous.
