Who would have thunk it? Michigan ranking number one as a best destination? You bet! While all states have their own unique features and charm, this state ranking article on Thrillist finds Michigan as their number one state for a variety of unique reasons. While not necessarily talking about the Motor City, but rather the entire state combined…and in particular the unique and remote charms of the Upper Peninsula. Did you know that Michigan boasts more coastline than than any state other than Alaska?
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is so uniquely beautiful and remote that is almost feels like a secret 51st state where “Yooper’s” inexplicably love British meat pies (pasties). Summertime beauty of the lake Superior shoreline is eclipsed only the the winter wonderland and snowmobile paradise that is one of the most reliable areas of snow cover in the nation. Take the advice of Michigan’s own tourism pitchman, Tim (the toolman) Allen and get yourself up the da U.P. ASAP.
