4 Incredible Winter Experiences in Michigan

From fat-tire biking through the woods at Crystal Mountain to an Upper Peninsula kennel that hosts dogsledding journeys, these snowy season adventures are not to be missed.




Before taking the plunge down Crystal Mountain’s 375-foot vertical drop, don’t forget to soak in the panoramic views of the surrounding area, where you can see parts of four nearby counties in the distance. If you’re not a daredevil, perhaps fat-tire biking through the woods is more your style. Or maybe you want to go full backcountry adventurer and seek out the kennel in Michigan's Upper Peninsula that offers dogsledding experiences unlike anything you’ve likely experienced before.
