Parks & Nature
Pierce Stocking drive is a must. So is Glen Haven and the hiking trail. Empire and its beach, and Glen Arbor are great places to explore. Several nice places to eat lunch or dinner.
Mike's 3rd great grandparents settled near Glen Arbor in the mid 19th century. They grew apples on Miller Hill. Mike's great grandfather was a respected physician in Empire.

Boating or driving along this multi-county route can be breath-taking. Your sojourn will take you by many quaint towns and scenic lakes. From Elk Rapids, the chain eventually leads to Lake Huron.

It's a little further away than Old Mission, but there are nearly three time the number of tasting rooms. The views and bargains can be outstanding. My favorite vineyards/tasting rooms include The Boathouse, French Valley, and Mawby, and there are many other great tastings rooms in this beautiful county. Check out Northern Latitudes Distillery in Lake Leelanau (for spirits) and the Hop Lot in Suttons Bay (for craft beers).
