This Michigan Road Trip Among The Most Scenic In America
Some people look at driving as a job because they are a truck, Uber, Lyft, or some other kind of driver. Other people view driving as a means of transportation from one place to another. Others find driving to be therapeutic, calming, and a fun activity to enjoy, but there is one more group of drivers that may understand the best part of driving. Those are the people who enjoy the sightseeing and experience of driving on an everyday basis or on a road trip.
Road trips can be one of the most fun and eye-opening experiences that someone can have in life. You're piling into a car with your favorite people and favorite things and preparing to embark on a drive that will take you hours. You find out so much about the people you're with from their music choices, conversations, and favorite foods.
Although all of that is fun, that's not the best part of a road trip, it's the things you get to see. There's a reason that parents play I spy with their kids while in the car, the world around us is so fascinating. From weird buildings and structures to animals and waterfalls, there is tons to take in during a road trip.
Some states aren't as lucky as Michigan when it comes to having exciting things to look at while driving. Michigan has tons of large cities and nature to draw your eye while traveling through the state. This Michigan road trip was named among the best in the entire country for the views it provides, do you have any guesses?
If you've driven down the Copper County Scenic Byway in the Upper Peninsula than you know why this route is given so much respect. It's one of the most beautiful stretches of land in Michigan and here's what World Atlas had to say about the Byway:
This 47-mile route takes you along Lake Superior’s northern shore, offering up some of the best views in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The drive takes you past waterfalls, forests, and rocky coastline, with plenty of opportunities to stop and explore along the way. Be sure to bring your camera - the fall colors are simply stunning!
I've heard that the UP is absolutely stunning and is a road trip that all Michiganders should partake in before its too late. After taking some looks at the Copper County Scenic Byway, they may just be right!
