There is no better place in America to see fall colors than in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

At least according to USA Today readers.

The expansive, mostly-rural land mass north of the Mackinac Bridge was selected by the newspaper's readers across the country as the best destination in America to view fall foliage.

The multi-week competition was held as part of USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards for 2018. The U.P. and all its glory beat out 19 other locations around the country to win. Winners were announced on Friday.

"Just about the entire Upper Peninsula puts on a display of fall color that peaks during the last two weeks of September and the first week of October," a blub on the contest page reads. "A favorite fall experience for leaf peepers is the drive along M-26 along the shores of Lake Roland and past the trees of Copper Country State Forest."

The U.P. finished ahead of a diverse set of locations; an initial list selected by a panel of experts. The rest of the Top 10 includes, in order:

Upper Peninsula - Michigan

Lake of the Ozarks - Missouri

Pocono Mountains - Pennsylvania

Door County - Wisconsin

North Conway & the White Mountains - New Hampshire

Fayetteville & the Ozark Mountain Region - Arkansas

The Berkshires - Massachusetts

The Catskills - New York

Black Hills & Badlands - South Dakota

Taos - New Mexico

Michigan has fared well with USA Today readers as of late. Long Road Distillers in Grand Rapids was named ""Best Craft Specialty Spirits Distillery in the United States" in mid-September.

The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail was No. 3 in USA Today's ranking of wine regions released on Oct. 4. Other contests are ongoing.
