Wonderful drive--must-do if you're in the area. Great scenic look-outs. Get the paper with all the waypoints listed from park ranger at the beginning. Also do the trail that leads to the sandy steep overlook.
This is a nice little drive. The last 2 scenics points are awesome. If you have time go down to the beach. It is a nice challenge up.

This is an amazing scenic drive--very hilly and curvy with a lot of wonderful scenic views.
The Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive is a pleasant must do. Multiple stops along the drive for amazing views of Sleeping Bear Dunes Coastline. Several stops offers access several trails and short (may be strenuous for some) hike to amazing views. The NPS paper that is This is a lovely picture!given to you upon entering the park has a numbered guide to explain your location on the drive.
