Traversecity.com says

Whether that’s window shopping the 150+ boutiques, galleries and cafes of downtown Traverse City, or hiking the glowing Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, it’s not hard to get all your steps in northern Michigan. Especially this time of year, when TripAdvisor.com calls us one of America’s Top 10 Fall Foliage Destinations.

​

Wineries and more: Traverse City is home to 40+ wineries, as well as 16 microbreweries, brewpubs and craft brew taprooms and 3 small-batch vodkas and whiskeys distilleries.

 

Sleeping Bear Dunes: No matter the temperature, the Sleeping Bear Dunes are always a magnificent site to see with miles of sand beach, bluffs that tower 450’ above Lake Michigan, lush forests, clear inland lakes, unique flora and fauna.
