RouteXpert Review Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled dive into the soul of Kentucky.
This isn't just a ride, it’s a full-throttle immersion into back-country culture, legendary twisties, and the kind of "hearty" local cuisine that sticks to your ribs.
Brace yourself for a relentless vertical workout. This route is just over 300 miles / 500 km.
You’ll be carving through mountain passes and sweeping forest corridors as the elevation swings from 600 to 1,800 feet.
These roads don't just go up and down—they dance.
Keep your eyes peeled, you’re riding through prime wildlife territory.
While this route is all about riding and the roads, a couple of interesting stops are waiting for you along the way.
Holliday Farm & Garden (The Pumpkin Patch).
This spot is a local legend during the Halloween season.
Expect it to be "swamped" with festive energy, corn mazes, and mountains of pumpkins.
While you scan for deer, don’t miss the legendary Prater’s Fort in Salyersville.
Established in 1794, this pioneer stronghold was a critical defensive post against frontier conflicts.
You can explore the recreated pioneer village nearby, featuring 15 authentic log buildings that make for
incredible photo ops.
After your final assault on the northern curves, you’ll roll back into Grayson.
Refuel at the Grayson Area Chamber of Commerce recommended spots like The Hogs Trough for killer BBQ or Melini Cucina for an Italian feast.
You’ve conquered the mountains and braved the wind!
Now grab your favorite brew, sink into a comfy chair and replay the amazing day you had.

About this region
Kentucky (US: kən-TUK-ee, UK: ken-), officially the Commonwealth of Kentucky, is a state in the Southeastern region of the United States, bordered by Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio to the north; West Virginia and Virginia to the east; Tennessee to the south; and Missouri to the west. The Commonwealth's northern border is defined by the Ohio River. Its capital is Frankfort, and its two largest cities are Louisville and Lexington. The state's population in 2020 was approximately 4.5 million.
Kentucky was admitted into the Union as the 15th state on June 1, 1792, splitting from Virginia in the process. It is known as the "Bluegrass State", a nickname based on Kentucky bluegrass, a species of grass found in many of its pastures, which has supported the thoroughbred horse industry in the center of the state.The state is home to the world's longest cave system in Mammoth Cave National Park, as well as the greatest length of navigable waterways and streams in the contiguous United States and the two largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi River. Kentucky is also known for horse racing, bourbon, moonshine, coal, "My Old Kentucky Home" historic state park, automobile manufacturing, tobacco, bluegrass music, college basketball, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and the Kentucky colonel.

Route Collections in this region Ultimate USA road trip 08
Michel van Hagen challenged me to follow the Roadtrip of Dr. Randy Olsen as a basis to create the Ultimate USA Road Trip for the MyRoute app RouteXpert Library. I took up that challenge and started in February 2022.
The scientist Dr. Randy Olsen, who became known for using his knowledge of algorithms to find 'Waldo' in the well-known American 'Where's Waldo' book series, has been challenged by Tracy Staedter, from Discovery News, to use the same algorithm to create the perfect Road Trip by creating the US, which will visit almost every state in the US. Alaska and Hawaii are not included in this Road Trip due to their geographical location.
The following three requirements formed the basis of the route: In all 48 countries there must be at least one stop at famous points, monuments, historical sites, national parks, etc. I have added additional interesting points, beautiful tours and routes.
After more than 26 months, the job is finished and, with a lot of support from Nick Carthew, I have created 129 routes that run through the 48 states of the USA and part of Canada. This is the eighth collection that takes you from Mackinaw City in ten days through Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee to Springfield, Illinois.
