Grand Rapids

Yet for all its sophistication, the city prides itself on such small-town virtues as friendly people, safe streets, minimal traffic and good old-fashioned Midwest value.

Michigan's West Coast is blessed with abundant natural wonders, from the lush green valleys of the Grand River Basin to the sugar-sand beaches of Lake Michigan. It's an ideal destination for golfing, swimming, fishing, boating, biking and sightseeing--and everything is close by!
