8 days in Traverse City Itinerary

Traverse City might be well known for its huge cherry industry, but its position along Grand Traverse Bay in Lake Michigan endows it with fine scenery and a wealth of outdoor attractions.

Explore Traverse City's surroundings by going to Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive (in Empire), Kayaking & Canoeing (in Grayling) and Silver Lake State Park Pedestrian Dune Access (in Hart). There's still lots to do: stroll through Little Traverse Wheelway, contemplate the long history of The Village at Grand Traverse Commons, go for a walk through Walk of Art, and take a stroll through Front Street.

In July, plan for daily highs up to 80°F, and evening lows to 59°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 27th (Sat) to allow enough time to travel back home.
