Mid-summer is peak riding and peak traffic. Ride smart and make the most of it.
KY-77 and the Nada Tunnel into the Red River Gorge deliver tight, shaded curves and cliff-line scenery a couple hours from Louisville. Cooler in the hollows, and worth the ride.
Kentucky backroads bring deer at dawn and dusk, loose chip-seal gravel, and thick fog in the river bottoms. Slow down, leave room, and ride your own pace through the curves.
