Historic Tunnel of Trees Loop in Michigan

One more route done. Its starts and finishes at Petosky State Park (famous for Petosky stones).

Preview: It's the sweetheart of cyclists, and for good reason: a narrow, winding road shunned by most motorists, lined with tall hardwood whose branches rise and arch to form an expansive canopy shading smooth asphalt. The deep greens of ferns and trees are interrupted only by the clear blues of Lake Michigan. It's M-119, running from Cross Village to Harbor Springs. This ride features the especially scenic section from Cross Village to Good Hart. Things to see: Tunnels formed by tall trees, vistas of Lake Michigan through hardwoods, Cross Village, Good Hart, historic Legs Inn.
