It's easy to be daunted by Michigan's sheer
size
: Detroit is more than seven hundred miles from Ironwood on the Wisconsin border (a
ferry
between Ludington and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, helps to cut driving time). Greyhound
buses
run regularly throughout the south, but services elsewhere are less frequent, and those few buses that serve the remote Upper Peninsula travel through at night. Amtrak
trains
between New York and Chicago stop at Detroit, Dearborn and Ann Arbor; trains into Canada leave from Windsor, just over the river from Detroit. Michigan's principal
airport
, a hub for Northwest Airlines, is just outside Detroit.
Cycling
is both feasible and rewarding, particularly with the abundance of bike paths in and around Traverse City; Michigan Bicycle Touring (tel 616/463-5885,
) in Kingsley organizes tours and can help with routes.
