According to the Ironwood Daily Globe, western Upper Peninsula leaves are between 5-10 percent turned 
depending upon location. Peak color is expected shortly after September 15th. Peak colors move down through Michigan generally through the end of October. A suggested western UP color tour drive.
I have two favorite Fall Color Tour Routes. The first is from Manistee to Northport on M-22. This winding road traverses several hardwood ecosystems along the western ridge of northern Michigan. The route is dotted with lakes, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, and views of Lake Michigan which makes for spectacular views against the blue October sky. My second favorite Fall color Tour route is closer to home along M-59, Grand River Ave, Pontiac Trail, and includes the recreation areas of Brighton, Island Lake, Proud Lake, and Highland in southeastern Michigan.

Many Private companies offer Fall Color Tours, simply Google "Michigan fall color" tours for several companies. I am not familiar with any so I cannot recommend any companies.
