What are the best road trip destinations in Michigan?

I live in Ohio and out of spite for the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry, I’ve never explored Michigan. Now that I’ve grown up a bit—although I still bleed red and white—I want to see what Michigan has to offer. What are some of the best road trip destinations in Michigan?

The Ohio St.-Michigan rivalry has created a rift between the two states, so putting off your road trip to
Michigan
isn’t a shocker! However, you’ve been missing out on some amazing attractions. If you’re finally ready to head up north, here are some of the best road trip destinations in Michigan you can’t afford to miss:
  • Ann Arbor: That’s right. Can you really be an Ohio State fan if you’ve never been to the Big House in Ann Arbor? But it’s more than just a rival stadium—it’s the third-largest stadium in the world, offering seats for up to 107,000 spectators.
  • Detroit: Although a shadow of its former self, Detroit is still a unique experience in its own right. Check out the Motown Museum, go to hockey or baseball games downtown, or get an authentic slice of Detroit-style pizza.
  • Sleeping Bear Dunes: This small section along Lake Michigan has some of the largest sand dunes outside of a desert setting, making it a must-see. Go dune buggying, enjoy a sunset, or try boarding down the dunes. You won’t be disappointed.
Even though Michigan is just a short jaunt from
Ohio
, you should still make sure you have the best coverage for a road trip. Think about upping your limits or adding towing and labor coverage. Then, hop on the
