Michigan Off the Beaten Path(r): A Guide to Unique Places

A great guide to plan your trip to Michigan and see exciting places and things that the locals miss out on.

Excellent delivery time, excellent condition, it's a gift so I haven't read it, but I looked through it and it looks like a really good book for us, we're always looking for drives to take on our days off.

This book was not intended to show tourists all of Michigan's wonderful attractions, such as the Mackinaw Bridge, Mackinaw Island, etc.(That is why those attractions are not listed in it). This book tells us about all of the "HIDDEN TREASURES" in Michigan. The treasures that one would find if they went down the back roads. This book is excellent. You will not be disappointed. Read the book, pack up your kids, pack some lunches, and go enjoy yourselves by visiting our "hidden" Michigan.

As a native Michigander, and now a nearby Chicagoan, I found this book both amusing and helpful. I had no idea of some of the little sites and attractions of my native state and used the book on some car trips back home. Of course, the book assumes you are aware of the big tourist attractions so it concentrates on the hidden treasures. I have shared this with fellow Michigan natives and they loved it also.

Michigan is more than corn fields and auto factories. It has a rich heritage of literature, art, and frontier wildness that makes the wild west pale by comparison. Mr. Dufresne has collected the definitive book of must-see sights along the byways of the most beautiful state in the nation.
