Winter is swiftly approaching and whether you're a fan of the cold or not, snow season is upon us.
While some states are warmer than others this time of year, it's never a bad idea to spend some time in what has grown to be considered one of the "best winter destinations" in the U.S.
Be it perfect temperatures (in states where sunshine trumps snow), fun ski resorts, stunning scenes, or winter activities for the whole family, something about this unique place lands it on top of the list of the best winter destinations in Michigan.
According to a list compiled by Reader's Digest, the best winter destination in Michigan is Pictured Rocks. This location was praised for its stunning cliffs and winter wonderland vibes.
Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about the best winter destination in the entire state:
"The stunning ice formations of Pictured Rocks Natural Lakeshore on Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula are like something out of Frozen. Water that seeps out of the sandstone cliffs freezes into dramatic curtains and columns that can appear blue, yellow, or white. Plus, annual snowfall totals approach 200 inches, turning everything into a true winter wonderland. Trek to ice caves and frozen waterfalls—the hardy can even try winter camping or ice climbing. To see experienced ice climbers in action, check out Michigan Ice Fest in mid-February."
