The hills around Grand Traverse Bay grow most of America's tart cherries, protected by lake-effect air that holds spring back until frost danger passes, and Traverse City has called itself the cherry capital since its festival began in the 1920s. Presidents get pies. One famous year the pie weighed seventeen tons. The orchards climb the Old Mission Peninsula between two arms of the bay, which is as pretty as farmland gets.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
