Depot to Depot: Self Guided Fall Color Tour and Contest

October 1, 2021

Visit Muskegon presents the 17th Annual “Depot to Depot Fall Color Tour”
This October we invite you to celebrate the vibrant colors of our woods, dunes and water…and win prizes!
Take your car or bike on this self-guided color tour; stretching from the Muskegon South Pierhead Light to the White River Light Station.
Wind your way along Lake Michigan. Travel the historic West Michigan Pike Byway. And see the scenic roads of Muskegon County in all their autumn glory. Soar over a canopy of fall colors, see the sites, snap some “selfies” and discover our local shops, restaurants, attractions and more.
Downloadable Map Coming Soon
 Depot to Depot 2021 takes place October 2 – 23, 2021
Contest entries will be gathered by social media photo check-ins at the designated stops
 Stop in to the Muskegon Union Depot and White Lake Train Depot to pick up a map
 Maps will also be available to download
On D2D Saturdays, the White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce will have refreshments and donuts. There will also be pumpkins for the little ones while supplies last
 Along with weekly giveaways on both Facebook and Instagram, at the end of October there will also be two “Grand Prize” drawings for 2022 Michigan’s Adventure and Lake Express High Speed Ferry passes
This event is FREE
Instructions to Enter the Contest
Snap a photo or selfie at designated stops on the map
Share the photo with a check-in on Facebook and/or Instagram. Include the hashtag #D2D21
Make sure the setting is “public” so we can find your photo entry
The more stops and check-in photos you share, the more entries you receive
Send one Facebook message to Visit Muskegon; simply say “D2D 21” (this way we can contact you if you are a winner!)
How Will We Draw the Winners?
Entries will be collected in a photo album on the Visit Muskegon Facebook page. Saved photos will be numbered and include the entrants name, check-in location and may also include the entrant’s comment on their original post
Every week Visit Muskegon will use Random.org to choose a number from the album of collected photos (the more photos you share, the more chances you have to win!)
Drawings will take place October 8, 15, 22 and 29.
Once a photo is selected as a winner it may not qualify for further prizes. However, the same entrant may win again with a different photo(s)
If a prize is not claimed within 5 days, it will be added to the next week’s drawing
Have FUN!
