Michigan Fall Color Tours

Take the time to enjoy the beauty of the season. The trees are full of fall colors - red, orange and yellows highlight the streets and streams. Michigan's Fall Foliage in the Upper Peninsula and the tip of northern Lower Peninsula should be at near-peak conditions starting the last week of September. The first week of October should stretch the colors from about Cadillac and Manistee north. Two weeks into October peak fall colors should now include most of lower Michigan. Enjoy Fall Life, Michigan Life!!
