Traverse City, Michigan
Provided by Traverse City CVB
FALL/WINTER 2009
Traverse City is quickly gaining fame as one of the most spectacular summer vacation spots in the Midwest, but those heart-stopping views of sky, water and shore don't simply disappear after Labor Day.
Autumn only sharpens the beauty of Traverse City, adding color to the forests and spice to the air—perfect weather for a stroll on the beach, a shopping adventure, a round of championship golf or a tour of the beautiful wine country on the nearby Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas. And when the winter snows begin to drift across this glacier-carved landscape, the entire region becomes a sparkling white playground for skiers, snowmobilers and snowshoe hikers.
Generations of “leaf-peepers” have made the Traverse City area their base of operations for annual fall color pilgrimages. Its landscape of rolling ridges, lush forests and wide expanses of open water is the perfect canvas for Nature's annual fall masterpiece.
Fall in Traverse City is a gentle, romantic season: a time of crisp clear mornings, mellow golden afternoons and cool, lingering evenings.
Winter transforms the region's hills and valleys into a glittering, unearthly landscape waiting to be explored, enjoyed and savored. More than 200 miles of the country's finest and most diverse ski and snowmobiling trails are in the enchanted Boardman and Jordan River valleys, and the downhill skiing at Shanty Creek is some of the best in the Great Lakes.
Shoppers are charmed by the picturesque turn-of-the-century downtown, with over 150 boutiques, shops and restaurants. Food-lovers are drawn to its fresh and imaginative regional cuisine and award-winning wines. This is one of America's most charming "art towns," with dozens of galleries, studios and museums, two symphony orchestras, two theatre companies and a vibrant club scene.
It's not hard to find adventure here in fall or winter–whether it's a long walk along a misty beach, a bicycle ride over brilliantly-colored hills or a silent ski through a snow-shrouded winter forest. There are cherry pies still warm from the oven, sweetly fragrant Old Mission eiswein, snug comforters, blazing fireplaces and a sky filled with bright stars. That's Traverse City.
