We're No. 10! We're No. 10!
Michigan gets a fall shout-out from Delta's Sky magazine, which in its October 2009 edition rates the Great Lakes state the No. 10 best destination to see fall foliage.
It's not the whole state mind you, but the Upper Peninsula that gets Michigan mentioned after Vermont; Massachusetts; Loire Valley, France; Prince Edward Island, Canada; Oregon; Pennsylvania; Tokyo, Japan; New York; and California.
And "if hiking is your thing, tackle the trails of Porcupine Mountains, situated along 20 miles of Lake Superior shore," the Sky magazine purrs. Those are located in the western part of the U.P.
Finishing behind forest-fire favorite California may burn Michiganians, but we'll take a top 10 finish any day.
