Brighton, Pinckney, and Waterloo State Recreation Areas. Those parks provide a real reprieve from the vast flatness of Michigan's lower peninsula. You'll find tons of cool trails going through hilly deep woods and around lakes. The hills are actually made out of rocky glacial deposits, which gives it a unique edge.

There are also some nice historic towns and businesses in the area. Seitz's Tavern in Chelsea, for example, is awesome. It's been around forever - you stand at the bar instead of sitting, like in the old days. You can even order a liver sausage sandwich or a limburger sandwich, like your grandpa would've.

When I don't feel like going all the way out to the Lake Michigan shoreline to get my elevation hikes in, the Brighton/Pinckney area has been hitting the spot. It's like a mini-Up North, all the way down to the town of Hell, which is exactly like some of the cheesy tourist traps you'll find near Mackinac. It's really grown on me.
