 Michigan is the best place to be in the summer with its beaches, forests, festivals, and picturesque towns and villages. A summer day spent nibbling fudge while strolling along the sidewalk on historic Mackinac Island, which is accessible by ferry from either St. Ignace or Mackinaw City, is an almost perfect summer experience. Travelers can go to Mackinac Island from early spring through the fall, but the best time is in the summer when fireworks over the Mackinac Bridge explode in celebration of Independence Day—and the best place to watch those fireworks is from the porch at the Grand Hotel. Its historic beauty, ambiance, and décor are renowned. |
