Brittney & Alex
Things To Do
Traverse City State Hospital - Hike, bike or walk.
This is one of our favorite places to get outside when we don't want to drive too far but still feel like we're out of downtown TC. There just so happens to be a great brewery (Earthen Ales) and winery (Left Foot Charley) just steps away from the trailhead. This is on the same property as the The Village at grand Traverse Commons!
The Village at Grand Traverse Commons - History, shopping, fine dining and drinks!
If you have time, take a stroll inside the historic State Hospital to experience history, shopping and dining. NOTE: This property is in between the ceremony and reception, the perfect place to kill some time before the fun begins at The Cathedral Barn! This is the same property as The Cathedral Barn.
Downtown Traverse City
If you haven't been to downtown Traverse City, or even if you have, it's the most quaint yet happenin' little northern Michigan downtown there is. Shops, bars, breweries, the State Theatre and more :)
VASA Singletrack Trailhead - Biking
If Alex is late to the wedding it's because he's out riding his bike on the Vasa single track... fun trails and will be so pretty in October!
The Filling Station Microbrewery - Pizza & Beer!
One of Britt's favorite places! Recommendations include: Station Salad with goat cheese, Wolverine and/or Stoker pizza, Huntington IPA or Walla Walla for brews.
Brady's Bar
Alex's favorite place to close down the bar and pool table (order a hot turkey and cheddar and wash it down with a pitcher of your favorite beer).
ELEV8 Climbing and Fitness
If you're feeling active, check out the new climbing gym!
Pyramid Point Trailhead
Google it. And then make time to visit while you're here.
Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive Entrance
All the views of Lake Michigan without the hike. Not to mention, it's an unforgettable scenic drive - especially during peak color season when you're here!
Clinch Park Beach
Great spot for a sunset and you can take a nice stroll on the TART trail!
