Exploring the Great Lakes State: Things to Do in Michigan

12 There's Nothing to Whine About in Traverse City

A game of golf followed by a grape adventure takes you for a Michigan walk on the wild side. There are numerous courses to try; one aptly named “The Bear,” most likely for obvious reasons recognized once played. The softer side of the city blooms with fragrant cherry blossoms in Spring. For a silent, meditative change of pace, sail on Grand Traverse Bay. Lean back, listen to the wind in the sails, and gaze spot where majestic azure skies meet the verdant hills. For more relaxation, have a floating bed and breakfast aboard the 1800s coasting cargo ship, the tall ship Manitou.
