Fall Road Trips

It’s easy to fall for Michigan at this time of year – the most colorful of our four seasons. There’s still time to hit the road to enjoy the annual show of reds, golds, oranges and yellows splashed across the state; the colors usually last through the end of October in the southern Lower Peninsula. Sign up for the free Pure Michigan eNewsletter for updates on fall color, festival and events, special promotions and more. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick getaway to catch a concert or theater performance in the city, or a leisurely, week-long escape to the countryside or shoreline, the Pure Michigan eNewsletter can help you plan your driving tour. Wherever you are in the state you’re never more than 85 miles from a Great Lake, and with so many other natural and man-made wonders, from waterfalls to museums, it’s easy to plan a fun-filled road trip that is Pure Michigan.
