The Best Fall Getaway to Crystal Mountain

Fall in Michigan is an incredible time to get outside and explore. And I’ve also found it to be one of the most underrated times to plan a getaway to Michigan. While other regions within the United States capture a lot of attention when it comes to fall travel, Michigan needs to be on the top of everyone’s bucket list! On the top of MY fall bucket list is planning a fall getaway to Crystal Mountain.

Crystal Mountain is located in Thompsonville, Michigan, which is located in the northwest lower peninsula. It is about a 45 minute drive from the popular town of Traverse City. When I discovered Crystal Mountain hosts all kinds of fun activities like a free scenic chairlift ride for their overnight guests, an alpine slide, and more as part of their Fall Fun Saturday’s, I knew we needed to visit!

Read on to discover all you need to know to plan a fall getaway to Crystal Mountain. This also includes what it’s like to stay at the Inn at the Mountain, fall activities at the resort, and nearby attractions to Crystal Mountain. Let’s go!
