Michigan is partnering with Canada to develop a “cross-border trail tourism” experience that will connect outdoor trails from both countries using the new Gordie Howe International Bridge in Detroit.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, more than a million people in Michigan will travel, and even more plan to get away during the rest of the summer.

This is going to be a unique summer in and around the D this year. Many of the annual experiences we love have returned and there are various new experiences you can see for the first time. Host Tati Amare takes us on a tour of all the different things you can see from Downtown Detroit to Dearborn to Ann Arbor. They are fun family events that everyone can enjoy. Here’s a list of some of the things she highlights.

For example, Treetops Resort in Gaylord is known for its skiing, snowboard and tubing. Treetops also has a new experience called the Magic Carpet. The Magic Carpet is a simple way to help learners and beginners get up the ski hill. For the advanced skiers, the resort offers a new challenge called “The Glades,” which is a double black diamond hill. Barry Owens, the general manager of Treetops Resort, explained what your family-fun experience could look like.

As of Thursday, Sept. 10, EEE has been confirmed in 19 horses in nine Michigan counties including Barry, Clare, Isabella, Jackson, Kent, Mecosta, Montcalm, Newaygo and Oakland. To date, no human cases have been identified. In 2019, there were 10 human cases of EEE in Michigan, which is equal to the total number of cases in the previous 10 years combined. Last year, Michigan accounted for 25 percent of the EEE cases nationally. You can also call the MDHHS hotline, which will now take calls for general questions about both COVID-19 and EEE at 888-535-6136.
