MACKINAC ISLAND, MI — A popular Michigan travel spot is the best destination for fall in the nation.

USA Today gave Mackinac Island the top spot for its 10 best spots in the US to visit this fall.

"The vibes are just right on Mackinac Island each fall. Crisp, sunny days with vibrant foliage give way to a slower pace of life in this resort town," USA Today wrote in its review. "A carriage ride is one of the best ways to peep those leaves, and Halloween weekend is always a fun event. Kids can go trick-or-treat at the downtown shops while adults enjoy grown-up costume parties at local establishments later in the evening."
