Have you taken any train rides in Michigan lately?

You could drive, but the views from the highway are often obstructed and less immersive than you might have hoped for.

In Holland Michigan, Spring means one thing: it’s Tulip Time.

We ALL agree that Michigan beaches are amazing…but have you heard about our Michigan Beach Towns?

We’re talking about those spots just beyond the sparkling water and sandy beaches where you’ll find food, fun and memories…and if you’re lucky perhaps a glass of wine or craft beer and something fun to take home with you.

The very best beachtowns combine a little bit of everything: proximity to sparkling sand and surf; a walkable downtown area with plenty of fun shops and boutiques to browse and pick up a trinket or two; comfortable benches and/or a park to rest a bit; and some good restaurants or cafes to sample the local food.

There is a reason that Michigan’s population swells with tourists from around the globe every summer, and that reason has everything to do with the stunning Michigan beaches and clear, fresh waters of the Great Lakes that surround the state.

Michigan is full of diverse and beautiful flora and fauna species and among the flora, the state’s wildflowers stand out as particularly special.

The sheer variety of Michigan’s wildflower populations is worthy of awe, but when out hiking, it’s hard to know just what flowers you’re encountering.

It becomes easy to overlook really special and perhaps even rare wildflowers if it’s not something you already have expertise in. Not to worry, though, since you can learn about, identify, and appreciate the wildflower species of Michigan without committing to understanding the complexities of botanical science in order to do so.
