This time of year, there's one word to describe Michigan: mellow.

There are millions of acres of forests and miles of Great Lakes shoreline that beckon in the Great Lakes State, where Autumn splendor abounds.

From early September in the Upper Peninsula, fall foliage in Michigan may last for weeks until late October as you head downstate. Or, how about combining fall color with a day out visiting famous Michigan wineries?

Wherever you go in fall, Michigan is cool like that.
