Capture a great shot — and stunning views — at these natural Kentucky wonders.
1 Baker Arboretum, Bowling Green
A visual feast of colors, textures and shapes in a classic European design, this arboretum is highlighted by a proliferation of Japanese maples and evergreens and is further enhanced by the Downing Art Museum.
2 Big Bone Lick State Historic Site, Union
Big game photography is a natural with this hulking herd of bison, northern Kentucky’s link to the Ice Age and a source of fascination for visitors — especially when the babies arrive in spring and early summer.

Breathtaking is not a big enough word for this natural wonder with thundering cascades splashing down some 60 feet. Being worth a thousand words, though, a picture will help you capture this aweinspiring sight.
