Fall foliage tours ABOVE Michigans countryside are the best way to see the palate of colors says Scott Lorenz, Chief Pilot of Westwind Balloon Company of Plymouth, Michigan. http://www.westwindcos.com/balloon Since 1981 Lorenz has been flying passengers over Kensington Metro Park, Milford, Brighton, South Lyon and Island State Park. Its a birds-eye view you can only experience in a hot air balloon.
