October 17, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Nick Nerbonne, Media/Digital/Industry Relations Director at Pure Michigan for this week's Pure Michigan Moment. The fall color tour season in Michigan is currently at its peak, with vibrant red and orange hues decorating trees across the state. Nick Nerbonne from Travel Michigan highlights the stunning autumn scenery, attributing it to cooler nights that enhance the leaf colors. He attended a meeting at Tree Tops Resort in Gaylord, where participants admired the impressive fall foliage. Nerbonne predicts the peak colors will last about ten days, potentially extending into late October, depending on weather conditions. The cooler temperatures in northern Michigan contribute to the vivid colors by causing chlorophyll in leaves to dissipate.
