Take the Scenic Route: M-119 Detour T-Shirt

Every now and then, Northern Michigan reminds us that the journey is just as important as the destination. When a section of the Tunnel of Trees was temporarily closed for repairs in 2026, travelers found themselves taking a slightly different path through one of Michigan's most beloved landscapes. We figured if everyone was being sent on the scenic route anyway, we might as well have a little fun with it.

This heavyweight garment-dyed tee commemorates the occasion with a tongue-in-cheek illustration imagining a completely unofficial solution to the detour. Featuring the M-119 highway marker, Tunnel of Trees sign, a muscle car attempting the impossible, and a few bewildered woodland spectators, it's our lighthearted tribute to one of Northern Michigan's most talked-about road projects. Built on Bella + Canvas' premium heavyweight tee, it offers a relaxed fit, substantial feel, and the kind of comfort that only gets better with time.

Designed in-house by the Peninsulas team, this piece reflects our hands-on approach—from fabric selection to final print. We sweat the details to ensure it's comfortable, well-made, and full of character. The result? A garment that feels like a favorite from day one.
