Looking for a quiet drive down a spectacular road in Michigan? A simple drive down one of Michigan’s many back roads during their stunning fall season is the perfect Sunday getaway for the entire family.

Late September is an ideal time to witness some of Michigan’s most amazing beauty. Routes such as the 200-mile Alpena – Gaylord – Mio tour takes you from the shoreline of Lake Huron to virgin forest, giving tourists beautiful scenery as well as plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities. If you plan to experience autumn colors later in the season, such as in late October, try planning a tour that includes visiting Grand Ledge, Hastings, Battle Creek, and Eaton Rapids. This route exposes you to the many sides of Michigan that are not always noticed–farmland, woodlands, rivers, geological formations, and plenty more. Lastly, the routes including Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, South Haven, and Kalamazoo (195 miles) provide a breathtaking backdrop for scenes from cities, sand dunes, wineries, farmers markets, and beautiful sunset. All of these tours require a camera during every mile of the way, and are each a beautiful and relaxing car drive for the entire family.

With the fall season rapidly arriving, Michigan fall color tour outings are a stunning experience suitable for the whole family. Begin planning your own tour today!
