Half the fun of a long drive is getting to see magnificent views along the way. While the views certainly don't impact the drive as much as the company (or who has control of the aux), they sure make time go faster.
Scenic views are not something you have to hope for if you traveling along one specific road in Michigan, as stunning sights are simply guaranteed.
So, what are you waiting for? It's time to get on the road again (especially if you just can't wait to get on the road again) and we're going to tell you exactly where to drive for the most beautiful traveling experience!
According to a list compiled by Cheapism, the most scenic highway in all of Michigan is Michigan Highway 119.
Why?
Two words. Great. Plains. Just trust us (and Cheapism, of course).
Here's what Cheapism had to say about what makes this legendary, scenic road so special:
"For its entire 28 miles, Michigan Highway 119 hugs the shore of Lake Michigan as it rounds Little Traverse Bay. The greatest attraction here is the mixed canopy of trees enveloping the lakeside road, otherwise known as the Tunnel of Trees Heritage Route, especially when the forest colors are changing. The Thorne Swift Nature Preserve along the way protects a beautiful area with spiritual significance to the Ottawa Indians, who once inhabited the area."
