AlbakiReads Editorial

A Kentucky trail guide that extends from hikes to city walks and public gardens

Covering more than 100 Kentucky outings, this fourth edition brings together hiking routes, urban walks, and public gardens, with particular attention to lesser-known places in the Bluegrass region. Each listing supplies practical planning details—route length, trailhead directions, available facilities, and contact information—alongside photographs and full-color maps. Side-trip suggestions broaden the use of each destination, while historical notes and humor are part of the guide’s presentation. Newly expanded for 2026, the book includes a full-color map for every hike and frames Kentucky exploration to include walking, rolling, and strolling as well as trail hiking.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kentucky hikers seeking routes beyond widely known destinations
  • Walkers and visitors planning urban strolls or public-garden outings
  • Outdoor planners who value maps, directions, facility details, and side-trip ideas

Hike the Bluegrass and Beyond is your personal guide to walk, roll, and stroll your way across Kentucky. This newly revised 4th Edition describes over 100 hikes, urban walks, and public gardens, complete with full-color topo maps, photos, and side trip reccomendations. Lightly doused with humor and just the right amount of historical trivia, this book focuses on many of the lesser known hiking spots in the Bluegrass region. Whether you rarely get off the couch or you do ironman triathlons for fun, you're sure to find a hike or walk to add to your favorite short list.

Each entry includes a description, trail length, directions to the trailhead, other facilities available, contact information, and lots of full-color photographs. New for 2026, the 4th Edition has been expanded once again, and includes full-color maps for each hike.
