Just north of the open and flat M-72, this country road feels miles from anywhere and offers lots of winding views through beautiful hardwoods.

This view of the curvy Kasson Road was taken in Leelanau County in Maple City. By car, take M-72 west out of Traverse City for 11 miles. Turn right onto Maple City Road/County Road 667. Drive north for about 1 mile and then turn left onto Kasson Road, which is a gravel road with some potholes (usually not a problem for most vehicles). Look for winding valley views as you drive; this image was about 0.7 miles into the road. If you follow the GPS, you'll reach the exact spot where I took this photo.
