Fall is made for wandering. For a few spectacular weeks, our winding backroads transform into a landscape of brilliant reds, oranges, and golds.

A traditional fall color drive is always beautiful, but why just drive through it? Turn your color tour into an experience. Hop aboard Atlas a 23-window Samba Deluxe vintage VW Bus with open sunroof overhead. Cruise the backroads of Northern Michigan’s fall colors with Wander with Direction or turn your color tour into a fall-time adventure with a hike, cider tasting, watercolor painting, or a trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes.
