Experience sand dunes and sandy beaches, small lakes and Great Lakes, orchards and vineyards, and the Northwest Michigan charm of resort towns like Elk Rapids, Cedar, Williamsburg, Fife Lake, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City.

NorthWest Tour is a five-day bicycle tent camping tour in and around the beautiful Traverse City and Leelanau areas of Michigan's northwest Lower Peninsula. The tour features great scenery on good roads through many small towns and tourist areas, all from the convenience of a single camping location.

Daily routes typically have shorter and longer options of 30, 60+ miles. The first and last days are shorter to allow for travel time. Be prepared for hilly terrain no matter which routes you take.
