Michigan has so much to offer holiday makers who are looking to discover the lesser known areas of the United States. This northern state is filled with traditional American hospitality and small quaint villages. To get the best out of this beautiful state a hire car is certainly recommended - as Michigan has lots to offer!
The Upper Peninsula region is filled with many of the natural beauty spots Michigan is famous for, including the jagged coastline of Pictured Rocks and the Porcupine Mountain range which is a joy to drive through in any season. A hire car can make these kinds of natural attractions easily accessible and fun to discover for even a novice explorer, but be sure you pack a map.
If you're looking to visit within the “fall” be sure you take your hire car to the northern region Michigan which is famous for its vivid display of autumnal colours. The rich reds, burning oranges and glowing yellows are a pleasure to walk around before retiring to a café to sample some American pumpkin pie.
The Lower Peninsula region of Michigan is surrounded by America's Great Lakes such as Lake Huron, Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. There are huge areas of national parklands and sprawling coastlines that boast some of the most beautiful natural freshwater beaches in the USA. The Sleeping Bear Dunes can be found in this part of the state surrounding Lake Michigan and are a sight to behold, with some dunes reaching 460 feet high.
