FOREWARD FROM THE 1915 WEST MICHIGAN PIKE TOURIST DIRECTORY

A land of countless lakes and streams, swept by the cool breezes of Lake Michigan the summer through, Western Michigan has long been the favorite playground of the Middle West. Fine scenery, its delightful climate, its opportunies for sport, recreation, or rest, alike contribute to make it a summer paradise, where hundreds of resorts offer a cheery hospitiality to the the tourist.

Rail and boat lines touch all he more important points in this territory, but by the autoist alone may all its rarer beauties be enjoyed. Five hundred miles along Lake Michigan, the WEST MICHIGAN PIKE links resort to resort, from Michigan City and South Bend to the Straits of Mackinac. A delightful variety of scenery lures one on from the prosperous cities, farms, and orchards of the "Land of Fruit and Fortune" to the wilder scenes and virgin forest, fringing the road: perhaps a glimpseof the blue Lake Michigan in the distance, or miles of touring along its very beach.
