Find Your Kentucky Escape What did the land that became Kentucky look like when the settlers traversed westward through the Cumberland Gap and into this vast wilderness? Enter Harlan County’s Blanton Forest on Pine Mountain — the largest old-growth forest in the state — and walk in the shade of the same towering trees those first pioneers saw. Nature lovers revel in Baker Natural Area Heritage Land , tucked away in Russellville in the Big Barrens region. Walk the loop within a forest of oak and hickory trees to see limestone glades and prairie grasslands — showy in the summertime with sunflowers, black-eyed Susans and chestnut sedges. 14 #TravelKY
