A drive doesn’t have to be long to be truly epic. In Wisconsin’s Peninsula State Park, you’ll find a short tour that’s one of the most beautiful drives in Wisconsin. It’s called Skyline Road, and it offers some magical views of the park. Even though this road is only a few miles long, you’ll want to take this drive when you’re in Door County.
