Paris Pike Scenic Highway Road Trip

7.0 miles: 0 hours, 8 minutes

US 27/68, known locally as Paris Pike Byway, serves as an introduction to the storied Bluegrass Region. Visitors pass gentle hills, a creek, fenced-in residences and horse farms as well as pastures full of grazing thoroughbreds - the breed named Kentucky's state horse.

There's a reason that Kentucky is called "The Bluegrass State," and one can see why traveling the Paris Pike Scenic Highway. The ground is covered with the jade-colored grass - sometimes with a bluish-purple tint in spring. It's not only scenic but also sustenance for the thoroughbred horses grazing in the pastures along the route.
