You don’t have to go Up North to view the fall colors; there is a local color route that is a 150-mile loop from Flint to Bloomfield Hills and back to Brighton. While you are driving, you can look for these stops we found that are worth checking out. BLOOMFIELD HILLS Bloomfield Hills is home to Cranbrook Institute, a National Historic Landmark. They boast 319 acres of gardens and museums, which are home to some of the world’s leading centers in science, art, and education. It houses the Contemporary Art Museum, Natural History Museum, Cranbrook Institute of Science, and Cranbrook House and Gardens. It is set into a lush landscape that will be full of trees bright with fall colors and beautifully landscaped gardens. You can even see Dinosaur skeletons!
