Old Frankfort Pike Historic and Scenic Byway, Kentucky
Where: Lexington to Frankfort
How far: 16.9 miles
What: Kentucky and bluegrass go together like Sea and Biscuit, and the byway has plenty of both: The karst and phosphate-rich soil is the special sauce in raising prizewinning thoroughbreds. A canopy of hardwood trees provides cover, and old limestone walls adorn hills speckled with horse farms.
