A 8.6-mile out-and-back in Michigan, with 154 ft of climbing. Reaches Pinnacle Point and other lake/summit destinations.
Most of the climbing sits in the first third — 58% of the ascent, between mile 0.0 and mile 4.0. It gives back about 679 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
