Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park Michigan

[GypsyT&M]

We are planning a trip next month to Sleeping Bear National Park in Michigan...we own a 2016 Thor Axis...anyone driven their motorhome on the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive in the park? Thanks T&M

You'd think we've been there having a camper and living in MI doing all those vacations "up North" LOL. Nope: Been to Sleeping Bear Dunes but never did that drive.

Looking at the website:
https://www.nps.gov/slbe/planyourvis...cenicdrive.htm

It would appear your biggest concern would be the covered bridge:
https://www.nps.gov/slbe/planyourvis...eredbridge.htm
but that shouldn't be a problem given that pages says there is 13 ft 6in clearance.

We've been to other scenic areas with our Axis and really did not have an issue because of its size. If anything Axis/Vegas units are made for this kind of thing since they are so small.

Of course, now that you've pointed it out I do want to go there now

Thanks...Yes...that bridge is a concern...brings back memories (not so good) of an auto trip in Nova Scotia where we barely and I mean BARELY made it through a "scenic drive" recommended by the local tourist office...started out pavement...over a rickety bridge (should have turned back than while we still could) than quickly became little more than a 2 track on the side of a mountain with NO room to turn around...10 miles of white knuckle driving and finally made it to the end. Met up with hikers midway who were shocked to see an auto on this trail..we were driving a rental Grand Am..don't need another heart stopper like that.. Ha Ha...I think I'll call the Park
