For the views...

From the top of the ski hill, you'll get sweeping views toward Little Traverse Bay, Harbor Springs, and the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, it's one of the better viewpoints in the area.

• Summer access can vary because it's private property used for maintenance and events, so it's a good idea to check with the resort before heading out.

• You can make it as short as about 1–2 miles round trip by hiking up and back, or explore additional xc skiing trails, which could be as much as 6-7 miles in a loop. 

• Wear shoes with good traction since grassy ski slopes can be slippery when wet.

Offield Viewlands

• Panoramic overlooks of Little Traverse Bay and the Inland Waterway.

• Over 4.5 miles of trails on a former golf course, so the walking is mostly on wide paths with rolling hills rather than rugged terrain.

• Start from the main parking area and head uphill on the old cart paths.

• The highest points are reached within about 15–25 minutes and offer the broadest views over the bay.

• Sunrise and sunset are especially beautiful when the light hits the water.
