If you’re looking for an escape from the insanity of everyday life, as many of us often are, one of the most relaxing and truly enjoyable ways to find it is by driving far away from everything urban. Minnesota is full of gorgeous winding roads that pass through fields, forests and next to lakes, and there’s nothing better than a quiet drive into the middle of nowhere MN. This one road in particular actually goes, well… to the middle of nowhere, and it’s the perfect spot for a quick getaway.

Highway 7 is known as the way to get out to popular spots in Minnetonka and Excelsior, but what many don't realize is that if you keep driving out into the country you'll find a perfect peaceful escape.
