Michigan's natural beauty has received international recognition last week.

Tripsavvy.com released their list of Where to Go in 2020: The Best Places to Travel This Year and Michigan was named the Best Place For Outdoor Enthusiasts.  Tripsavvy highlights Michigan's 19 million acres of forest, 3,000 miles of shoreline, hundreds of waterfalls, and our many national parks.

Here is a snippet of the description of Michigan given in the article:

"With more than 19 million acres of forest and 3,000 miles of shoreline, Michigan is an underappreciated outdoor playground. In the mitten of lower Michigan, hike the sky-high dunes at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and race down to Lake Michigan’s turquoise waters for a dip...  The Upper Peninsula is home to hundreds of waterfalls, but standing 50 feet tall, Tahquamenon Falls, near Paradise, Michigan, is one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi."

Tripsavvy.com also names 18 other destinations for travelers that include Best for Shopping, Best for Families, and Destination of the Year.
