Can one see Michigan from the Sears Tower in Chicago?
Yes, on a clear day it is possible to see the state of Michigan from the Sears Tower, which is also known as the Willis Tower, in Chicago. The Willis Tower is 1,454 feet tall and is located about 40 miles from the Michigan border. The best views of Michigan can be seen from the Skydeck on the 103rd floor of the tower. On a clear day, visitors can see up to 50 miles in every direction, which includes parts of Michigan and the state of Indiana.
For viewing, the Michigan shoreline and parts of its southern peninsula would likely appear to the far northeastern vantage point from Willis Tower on the Chicago skyline.
