(BPT) - Known as the cultural cross point between the South and Midwest, the Bluegrass State attracts novel tourists worldwide. With its rich history, breathtaking scenery and delectable bourbon, Kentucky is one of the most underrated travel destinations in the United States. If you're a bourbon lover, you can't miss all that the Bourbon Trail has to offer. Have a family or travel partner that's not as into bourbon as you? Kentucky lets you have the best of both worlds.

What to do with 48 hours on the Bourbon Trail

Whether you’re sipping the good stuff or taking in all of the sights, sounds and smells Kentucky has to offer, here are a few fun adventures you can’t miss:

Watch the horses gallop and take in the scenic views

Countless people tune in from home and gather in the stands of Churchill Downs to watch the action unfold. However, you don’t need to attend the Kentucky Derby to witness the state’s equestrian elegance and beauty. You can find plenty of them at the Meadow Lake Equestrian Center in Lancaster, the Whispering Woods Trails in Georgetown or the Deer Run stable in Richmond.

Alongside the horses, there are plenty of picturesque views nearby, like Mammoth Cave National Park, Cumberland Falls and the Red River Gorge. These are just a short drive away from the Bourbon Trail.

Each destination in Kentucky tells its own unique story, and none have more twists and turns like the constant evolution of the Bourbon Trail. And some, like Bardstown Bourbon Company, are building a new foundation in the second oldest city in the commonwealth of Kentucky.
