Exploring Kentucky

Can you believe these views are in Kentucky?! 😍 I never knew this state had such awesome places to explore like this, until we ended up there with Jason’s job in the summer of 2020! And now this area is still one of our favorite places we’ve explored! 🙌🏽

💦Cumberland Falls is the only place in the western hemisphere where you can regularly see a moonbow every month if skies are clear during a full moon!

💦Hike to Eagle Falls and maybe even take a refreshing dip!

💎Mine for gems and fossils!

🥾Check out the Natural Bridge, which you can even walk across!

🥾Continue hiking along Laurel Ridge Trail to Lover’s Leap - a beautiful lookout point!

🥾Explore the Devil’s Gulch stairway and Needle’s Eye stairway

⚫️See this tunnel known as “The Gateway to The Red River Gorge”

⚫️Drive slowly and carefully through this tunnel with your lights on, as there’s only room for one lane of traffic!

You can also explore more of the Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Forest in this area of eastern Kentucky, south and east of Lexington.

Plus, if you’re going a bit further west in Kentucky, you can visit Mammoth Cave National Park!
