Enjoy the Splendor of Gaylord's most Awe-inspiring Season
The air is crisp, the sky is blue, and the forests are ablaze in red, gold, green and orange. The best ways to behold this scene? Here's three:
Driving Tour PIcturesque barns, big forest and tiny lakeside hamlets-what more could a fall road tripper want?
-
Tour #1 travels north and west of Gaylord, taking in the scenic drive south of Cross Village, continuing along the Lake Michigan shoreline and winding back along M-32.. a rolling and beautiful stretch of hardwoods and forest-lined farm lands.
- Tour #2 travels north and east of Gaylord, taking in the beautiful woodlands surrounding the Pigeon River State Forest and the shoreline drive along Lake Huron.

Deadman's Hill Scenic Overlook
It wasn't the panoramic views of the Jordan River Valley that knocked logger Stanley Graczyk dead in 1911 (runaway logs did that) but Deadman's Hill still takes your breath away. Drive right up to take some stunning photos or cruise on to the 18-mile backpacking trail that starts here and descends deep into this fall-fabulous valley: M-32 west through Elmira, south on US 131, then west on Deadman's Hill Rd.
