TripAdvisor just released their list of "The 10 Hottest U.S. Destinations for Summer 2018" and the competition to be on the list was fierce.
The U.S. is home to many incredible locations, like Nantucket and Yellowstone. Michigan, however, claimed the top spot as Mackinac Island was ranked number one. Every Michigan native has likely visited the island at least once, taking a family bike ride around the island's eight-mile circumference. You probably remember singing classic road trip songs as you crossed the Mackinac Bridge.
And you have, undoubtedly, corrected countless people who spell Mackinac as "Mackinaw" or say it like "Mack-in-ack." But this honor from TripAdvisor is sure to bring in many more out-of-state guests. So, for everyone planning to visit the hottest destination in the U.S. this summer, here are 10 of the best things to see and do while visiting Mackinac Island.
1. The Grand Hotel
2. Round Island Lighthouse
3. Murdick's Fudge
4. The Original Butterfly House and Insect World
5. Arch Rock
6. Bike ride around the island (about eight miles)
Cars aren't allowed on the island, only horse-drawn carriages and bikes.
