When it comes to gorgeous sunsets, Michigan not doubt has an advantage over other states in that its many shorelines and changing seasons make for stunning views at dusk. It doesn't seem to matter if you live lakeside, in the country, have lots of snow to deal with or are in the midst of the big city. Michigan sunsets are second to nothing. Check them out for yourself.
