Traverse City delights visitors with its cherry orchards and wineries, while the iconic Mackinac Island, vehicle-free and rich in Victorian charm, beckons with bicycle trails and fudge shops. Outdoor enthusiasts explore Sleeping Bear Dunes, where towering sand formations meet Lake Michigan, or paddle through the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore’s colorful cliffs. Detroit pulses with music history, art museums, and a revitalized riverfront, contrasting the serene beauty of the Upper Peninsula’s Porcupine Mountains.

FAQs about Michigan Tours
What is the best time to visit Traverse City, Michigan for cherry blossoms?
The cherry blossoms in Traverse City typically peak in mid- to late May, depending on spring weather. The National Cherry Festival begins at the end of June, but blossoms appear earlier. For the most accurate bloom tracking, check the Northwest Michigan Horticultural Research Station’s weekly bloom reports in April and May. Plan visits for mid-May for optimal viewing.
How do I get from Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) to downtown Detroit?
From DTW, take the SMART Bus Route 261, which runs from the airport to downtown Detroit (Renaissance Center) for $2. Use the QLINE streetcar for access to Midtown and the Riverfront. Alternatively, rideshares or taxis take 25–35 minutes depending on traffic. Rental cars are widely available at the DTW Ground Transportation Center.
Is a Michigan Recreation Passport required for state parks?
Yes, a Michigan Recreation Passport is required for entry to state parks and recreation areas. It’s included with vehicle registration if purchased in Michigan. Out-of-state visitors can buy a daily ($11) or annual ($37) passport at entry points or online. The pass covers all passengers in a single vehicle and grants access to over 100 state-managed sites.
What should I know about driving in Michigan during winter months?
Winter driving in Michigan, especially in the Upper Peninsula, requires snow tires or all-weather tires and caution during lake-effect snow events. Carry an emergency kit with blankets, jumper cables, and food. I-75 and I-94 can experience sudden closures during storms. Check MDOT’s MiDrive traffic map for real-time road conditions and speed restrictions before travel.
