The United States is filled with quaint mountain towns fighting for the prestigious title of “Best Winter Destination.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sorry Aspen, Boulder, and Park City, you’ve been beaten by a town you’ve probably never heard of.<\/p>\n
Welcome to Traverse City, Michigan.<\/p>\n
Far away from any mountain base, this small town of 15,000 sits on a bay of Lake Michigan almost directly between the equator and the North Pole.<\/p>\n
From secret speakeasies to dimmed lights lining snow-covered streets and snowshoe prints throughout surrounding pine forests, there isn\u2019t much to deny that it\u2019s the epitome of a Winter Wonderland.<\/p>\n
