The fall color show on Mackinac Island is bursting forth this week with brilliant displays of gold and orange and crimson. There is still a fair amount of green but the splashes of color throughout the island are especially vibrant this year. Look for absolute peak sometime near this weekend with plenty of color next week and into next weekend.
