Michigan

Framed by four of the five Great Lakes, Michigan is all about the great outdoors—cherry blossoms in spring, swimming and boating around Lake Huron in summer, fiery foliage everywhere in fall, and skating and ice fishing on Lake Michigan come winter. Revitalized Detroit has become a cultural capital. Its dynamic food scene runs from East African dishes at Baobob Fare to the seasonal fruit pies at Sister Pie. Culture is everywhere, from outdoor walls that get fresh murals each year courtesy of the festival BLKOUT Walls to the Detroit Institute of Arts and Motown Museum.
