We didn’t know Michigan looked like this🤯
Michigan is a dream🥹. We’d heard it was beautiful but had no idea it would look like this! We spent the past six weeks driving through the lower and upper peninsulas and absolutely fell in love. We’re sad to be leaving! Have you visited Michigan yet? #puremichigan #michigantravel #michi

A vast sand dune slopes down to the clear blue waters of Lake Michigan under a partly cloudy sky. Small figures of people are visible on the dune, with "Must visit MICHIGAN" overlaid.
A paved road leads to a beach area in Glen Arbor, with the calm blue waters of Lake Michigan in the background. Signs, benches, and a blue umbrella are visible.

1.)Lake Michigan of course, you can’t visit Michigan and not have a fun beach day.🏖️One great beach spot is Grand Haven City Beach , it’s a big beach and you can go for a walk on the pier, go fishing on the pier, and even pier jumping. Enjoy some ice cream and watch the sunset 🌅 2) TreeRunner

The Northern Lights illuminate the Michigan night sky with vibrant streaks of green, pink, and red, seen above silhouetted tree branches and a distant shoreline with faint lights.
Vibrant pink and purple Northern Lights glow above tall, silhouetted evergreen trees, with scattered stars visible in the Michigan night sky.
A vivid display of pink and purple Northern Lights fills the Michigan night sky, with the dark silhouette of a dense tree canopy in the foreground.
Michigan, Northern Lights
This is the first time I’ve seen the northern lights in person! Keep an eye out tonight, there’s many states that may be able to see them tonight on 10/10! #northernmichigan #exploremichigan #puremichigan #northernlight #michigan #northernlights #travelwithme2024 #Lemon8Diary

Save this for your next trip to Michigan😍
If you’re taking a trip to Michigan, make sure you add Mackinac Island to your list. This is Arch Rock located on the island. It’s made from natural limestone and stands 146ft above the water. The water color is incredible too. It’s free to visit once you’re already on the island.
