The town just so happened to be having their Farmers Market, which is every Friday from 8:30 - 1:00, so we wandered through to see if we needed something. |
Also in the downtown area is the Perry Hotel. Looks like a nice place to stay if you don't have a RV. |
The stones are rock and fossil, composed of fossilized coral. You can find a lot of them for sale in shops. The bigger and more pattern they are, the more expensive they get. |
The bike path goes from Charlevoix through Petoskey to Harbor Springs. The route is 26 mile long. |
Part of the route has views of the Little Traverse Bay. |
We went past The Village At Bay Harbor on the route going toward Charlevoix. |
There is shopping, dining, accommodations, marina and events at the Village. |
After riding about 8 miles we turned back, and went back through this tunnel. |
View of East Park Condominiums along Little Traverse Bay. |
I would have brought Mallery on our ride, but the bike rentals didn't have front baskets. This lady must be riding her own bike or got it from a different rental business. |
We went past Magnus Park, and rode our bikes north to the marina, |
and across the Bear River that empties into Little Traverse Bay. |
There always seemed to be people fishing up stream of Bear River on a bridge in Mineral Well Park. |
Just up from the marina in Petoskey is a playground for the little ones, |
and a park to cool off on benches in the shade. At the end of the park, there are steps that take you to the downtown of Petoskey. |
Just a bit further we saw this fall along the bike path. We didn't go much farther, because we needed to head back to the bike shop, as our 2 hours was just about up, and Joe bum was getting sore! |
Hi, just found your blog and joined as a follower. We cover much of the same area. Fun to see what we missed.
ReplyDeleteWhen did you go through? It's a fun area to see and lots to do. Are you full timers or snowbirds? Or just summer travelers?
