Traverse City lands on the list of the 8 best fall small towns in America for providing the perfect landscape for America's most scenic fall drives. Lonely Planet says:

"America’s midwestern landscapes transform into an artistic masterpiece when autumn douses the coastal town of Traverse City with the infinite shades of fall. The vastness of the fall display can best be appreciated on car trips around the surrounding peninsulas.

The two-hour drive through the Old Mission Peninsula takes in roadside fruit stands and the Mission Point Lighthouse, while more forested Benzie County reveals its colors from hilly roads, including a marquee stretch of the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive that traces the edge of the Sleeping Bear Dunes."

Traverse City is also a fall bucket list destination for seasonal activities like apple picking, pumpkin patches, and harvest festivals.
