Bike the Bourbon Trail
While many of Kentucky's famous bourbon distilleries are still anxiously awaiting re-open, the rolling hills they are nestled in and the country roads that connect them await your exploration.

Recommended routes begin and end in Louisville and Lexington.

This goose shaped roof, atop a nest shaped house will have everyone in your car thinking they've driven into a fairy tale. [photo credit kentuckytourism.com]
