Horsepowered Travel

Kentucky Horse Farms to NASCAR & Moonshine Stories
 

Buckle up for adventure! Southeast Kentucky is Horse Country and the region boasts equestrian adventures, horse farm tours, cultural heritage tours and is home to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame & Museum. The pace settles into cruise control as you move into outdoor adventure areas like Red River Gorge and Cumberland Falls on the way to a scenic drive through Tennessee and North Carolina.
 
The horsepower changes as you move into North Carolina’s High Country, home of the highest mountains on the east coast. The Blue Ridge parkway features the Linn Cove Viaduct - an engineering marvel that wraps around Grandfather Mountain. The Grandfather Mountain Nature Preserve is home to amazing biodiversity and the Mile-High Swinging Bridge with spectacular views.
 
North Carolina’s first rural historic district is home to the Original Mast General Store featuring country gourmet foods, cast iron cookware, speckleware, and old-fashioned toys. Ashe County Cheese is Carolina’s oldest cheese plant selling original cheeses as well as butter, homemade fudge, and old-fashioned snacks and candies. At Linville Caverns, explore the splendor and wonders nature created "inside a mountain".
 
No trip is complete without sampling moonshine as you learn the history of NASCAR during the US Prohibition era. After the moonshine revs your engine, head to Charlotte for the modern-day NASCAR experience at the Charlotte Motorspeedway, race shops and the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
 
Charlotte, the Queen City, has an emerging culinary and craft spirits scene to explore. At this point, you’ll want to step on the break and take it all in.
