Local author Paul Vachon reveals the best of the Great Lake State's charming small towns, vibrant cities, and vast, untouched wilderness with Moon Michigan. Inside you'll find:
  • Strategic, flexible itineraries, including an epic road trip to see the best of Michigan
  • Unique experiences and can't-miss sights: Get your fill of vintage vehicles at Detroit's industrial museums, like the GM Showroom or the historic Ford House, or immerse yourself in the sounds of the Motown Museum. Watch hundreds of technicolor butterflies in the Original Butterfly House, nibble on rich fudge, and unwind with a romantic carriage ride on Mackinac Island. Browse the art galleries of Ann Arbor, sip chardonnay on a scenic tour of wine country, or explore Michigan's booming craft beer scene along an ale trail
  • The best outdoor activities: Embark on Michigan's best hikes, from family-friendly day treks to rugged dune-scaling adventures. Hit the links at the top golf resorts, cruise along the Pictured Rocks, or relax on a serene, sunny beach. Spend a day fishing and boating and spot moose, elk, and black bears in their natural habitats. Set up camp under a crystal-clear summer sky or cross-country ski through pristine winter snow
  • Expert advice from Detroit local Paul Vachon on when to go, how to get around, and where to stay, from campsites and motels to golf resorts and lakeside lodges
  • Full-color photos and detailed maps throughout
