What October feels like
Color runs along M-22 and the Leelanau back roads in the first half of the month, and the Sleeping Bear overlooks get properly busy on clear weekends. This is also the wettest, grayest stretch of the year, so pack for the days that do not cooperate.
Rain arrives about 10 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
