Yesterday we were able to drive 20 miles from where we are staying to visit Pyramid Point. The drive in and of itself is a beautiful trip down the famous M-22 where hills and winding roads abound. We had a rough idea where our destination was, but didn’t have a map that was all the detailed. Add to that the fact that there are no signs that say ‘Pyramid Point this way’. We ended up pulling over and asking a local couple how to get there. They directed us up a few miles to a road that they said we should be able to drive the motor home down.

As we got closer, the road seemed to continue to shrink every mile we drove, until finally we ended up on a one lane road heading back into the woods. We had thought that we would probably have to back all the way out… but lo and behold, we found a good sized parking lot I was able to back up into and park.

From there we grabbed our water bottles and hit the trail. Our journey to the lookout was mainly uphill though the woods, on a well maintained trail, which was only a little over one half of a mile. The last portion of the trail was a sandy path up to lookout, and when you come to the crest of the trail, you are looking down over the amazing bluff that is about 400-450 feet above the amazing Lake Michigan. You can lookout and see both Manitou Islands, and a large portion of Lake Michigan. Now I have to say that I have been all along the west coast of Michigan, and have seen many beautiful views of the Great Lake, but this is by far my favorite now.

If you ever get a chance to check this point out, do it! It is only about 4 miles from another one of our favorite towns, Glen Arbor.

Overall, it was probably one of the best days we have had as a family this whole summer, and as we’ve said… this summer has been probably the most enjoyable and bonding summers yet for us.
Enjoy the pics!
