Brockway Mountain Drive OverlookStop The lookout at the top of the 9-mile Brockway Mountain Drive off M-26 — 735 feet above Lake Superior with 360° views (Isle Royale on a clear day), billed as the highest drive between the Rockies and the Alleghenies. | — | |
Keweenaw Loop (US-41 / M-26 / Brockway Mountain Drive) A roughly 110-mile loop from the Houghton area to the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, combining US-41's tree-canopied final miles into Copper Harbor, the M-26 shoreline, and the 9-mile Brockway Mountain Drive climb — the highest above-sea-level drive between the Rockies and the Alleghenies. The mapped route follows the Copper Country Trail National Byway (US-41); ride M-26 and Brockway Mountain Drive to complete the loop. | 47 mi |

Why ride Michigan?
Switchback scores every road in Michigan by corner density and elevation, not by how fast it gets you somewhere. The result is a shortlist worth the detour — Keweenaw Loop (US-41 / M-26 / Brockway Mountain Drive) among them — each mapped mile by mile with the fuel stops, overlooks, and bailouts that actually matter on two wheels.
Plan before you ride
Mountain and high-desert routes in Michigan can be seasonal — verify pass and weather conditions before you commit, top off fuel before long service gaps, and check the mile-by-mile breakdown on each road's page for the named corners, stops, and turnarounds. Pro riders get offline maps for the stretches where cell coverage drops out.
// Frequently asked
Every route is scored by corner density and elevation change, then verified by riders — not pulled from a generic car database. Stops are checked for bike parking, sightlines to your machine, and fuel before the dead zones.
