Lake circuit offers endless summer fun
You can go 'round the world in 80 days this summer, but if you haven't got that kind of time, why not spend just a couple exploring the Great Lakes Circle Tour in the states bording Lake Michigan. The route covers 425 miles in Wisconsin, 575 in Michigan, 60 miles in Illinois and 40 in Indiana.

S.S. Badger offers a unique travel experience to Michigan
When we think of Michigan we often think twice, as visions of hours spent in a hot car in slow-moving Windy City traffic are quickly conjured. But the S.S. Badger, which plies the waters of Lake Michigan every day from May through September, offers if not a quick, at least a painless, unusual and fun way to make the trip.

The other side of the big pond
The dunes in Ludington, Mich., can grow as tall as 180 feet, but they aren't home to camels. Rather, these impressive amber sand mounds are traversed by Jeeps, motorbikes, hikers and tourists. They're one of the most impressive sights to be found in western Michigan, just across the water from Manitowoc.
