Nature/Wildlife

You want to go on safari but only have a few days, no problem….head to the “wilds” of Kentucky.  Stalk big game (with binoculars). The elk herd in Eastern Kentucky is the largest east of the Rockies.  View old growth forests that predate the arrival of the pilgrims.  Wildlife Management Areas, Nature Preserves, National Forest and state and national Parks are great places to commune with nature and our native wildlife.
