Kentucky Travel Guides

Kentucky is a unique Southern state known for its Bluegrass Music, Bourbon production, and horse racing. It’s also home to Mammoth Cave National Park, which is the longest cave system in the world.

Along with Mammoth Cave, there are some amazing outdoor opportunities all over Kentucky. Enjoy climbing and hiking in Red River Gorge, or visit Cumberland Gap, a historic mountain pass that sits on the Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia border.

Kentucky also has some vibrant cities. Lexington is known as the “Horse Capital of the World,” and Louisville is known for its production of Louisville slugger baseball bats, the Kentucky Derby and as a major hub of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.

Personally, I grew up in Cincinnati, so I was just minutes away from Kentucky. However, I’ve only scratched the surface on exploring this state so far. Check out my guides to Mammoth Cave and Red River Gorge to discover some of the coolest outdoor destinations in the state.
