Backroads & Byways of Michigan

From the Chicago and Territorial roads, home of a historic and scenic railroad, to the Lower Peninsula's Chain of Lakes area, Backroads & Byways of Michigan is the shortest route a visitor can take to knowing the state like a local. This fourth edition offers updated itineraries to scenic and intriguing places, like Michigan's Wine Country-where you can sample local wines, chocolate truffles, and orchard fruits-and Western Michigan, once a mining area, now a winter-recreation wonderland and home of many spectacular waterfalls.
