UPPER PENINSULA, Mich. (WZMQ) – Michigan’s Upper Peninsula tops the list of USA Today’s “10 Best Places to See Fall Colors in the United States” feature article.

The USA Today article published Wednesday gives the UP the coveted crown above popular East Coast leaf-peeping locations like the Finger Lakes in New York (#8) and Stowe, Vermont (#7).

“With around 7 million acres of forest abutting the shores of three different Great Lakes, changing leaves are the main event each fall in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. With 10 fall color routes that cover a total of nearly 1,500 miles, there are endless opportunities for a peaceful autumn drive to soak in the scenery,” USA Today writes of the UP.

USA Today ranks the top ten:

  1. Upper Peninsula of Michigan
  2. Laurel Highlands, Pennsylvania
  3. Hot Springs, Arkansas
  4. Blue Ridge Mountains, Georgia
  5. Hocking Hills, Ohio
  6. White Mountains, New Hampshire
  7. Stowe, Vermont
  8. Finger Lakes, New York
  9. The Berkshires, Massachusetts
  10. Adirondacks, New York

UP Travel says, “This accolade, voted on by explorers, nature enthusiasts and lovers of vibrant fall landscapes, highlights the U.P.’s unmatched beauty during autumn.”

As fall colors around the UP are becoming more vibrant, it’s the perfect time to plan a fall color tour. UP Travel makes it easy for autumn enthusiasts to make their visit during peak colors with its Fall Colors Map. UP Travel even provides its own list of locations that are favorites of tourists and locals alike for revelers to check out.

USA Today’s 10Best series is voted on by a panel of 12 travel experts. USA Today 10Best aims to provide users with original, unbiased and experiential travel coverage of top attractions, things to see and do, and restaurants for top destinations in the U.S. and around the world.
