Let’s go leaf peeping today, Michigan! The colorful landscape will soon give way to fallen leaves and, not long after, snow. That makes now the ideal time to get outside to breathe in the fresh, crisp fall air and to admire the fall foliage throughout the state. If you’re up for a refreshing hike that leads to sensational views of the Grand Canyon of Michigan, painted in the brilliant colors of autumn, set off on this picturesque trail the first chance you get.

Slip on your favorite hiking boots or a sturdy pair of shoes for your picturesque journey along the 3.9-mile Canyon Gorge Trail near L’Anse.
