Fall Color Itineraries in Southwest Michigan
In Southwest Michigan, the beautiful transitions from deep green leaves to brilliant yellows, orange and reds typically begin in mid-September and peak the first two weeks of October. Companioned with our gorgeous autumn sunsets along our Lake Michigan shore, you are never far from breathtaking views from dawn to dusk. Take a day, a weekend or a week to welcome this colorful season by following three fall color tours in Southwest Michigan.
Day 1: West Michigan Pike
This first tour is along the West Michigan Pike. The Pike is the first continuous paved road in West Michigan from the Indiana state line to Mackinaw City. It's a great way to combine fall colors with unforgettable beach moments along the two-lane US Route 12 (Red Arrow Highway) and US Route 31 (Blue Star Highway).
