Michigan is famous for its lush, green springs and summers, colourful fall seasons, and gorgeous and tranquil winters so superb its residents are nervous to holiday anyplace else. From the Great Lakes to the northwards wasteland and colourful city life, Michigan has much to offer .
As summer gives way to fall, enjoy the clean air while sipping a cup of warm apple cider or biting into a delicious Michigan apple. Autumn is a fab time to visit one of many apple orchards or the more than 40 wineries in Michigan. While mooching through the vineyards, take a second to witness natures beauty as you watch the leaves turn to red, orange and yellow.
There are winter wonders for all in Michigan, from downhill skiing to snowmobiling, dog sledding to snowshoeing. Cross-country skiing gets people outside in winter, improving strength and endurability, promoting a healthy Michigan winter way of life. And those trying to find more mild entertainment can see dazzling light displays and enjoy ice-sculpting holidays, dog-sled races, ice-fishing derbies and even winter golf. Cabin fever is uncommon in Michigan!
For a taste of city life, Detroit and Grand Rapids brim with options. Tour the home of the Motown sound or visit Greektown, Detroits most famous nightlife, cafe and entertainment district. Spend an afternoon touring the River Rouge Ford Plant at the Rouge Center, with a behind-the-scenes tour of the new Dearborn Lorry Plants Final Assembly building, all beginning and terminating at The Henry Ford.
