Why Michigan Is The Best State To Live In During Fall

Summer is coming to an end in Michigan, which means we are headed towards easily the most beautiful season of the entire year while living in Michigan. I firmly believe that Michigan is the best state to live in during the fall season for many different reasons.

Because of where we are located, geographically, depending on where you were at in the state there are almost different seasons within the season that are all centered around the changing of the leaves. That means that you could do a state tour and see some of the most beautiful colors in all the different areas of Michigan.
