This travelogue connects two of the South's most iconic and beautiful landscapes: the rolling horse country of central Kentucky and the spectacular Blue Ridge Parkway stretching through Virginia and North Carolina. The journey begins in Louisville — a city of bourbon, baseball, and the most famous two minutes in sports — before moving through the verdant bluegrass region.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of America's great scenic drives, and this travelogue follows it through its most dramatic sections. The Appalachian Mountains here are ancient and rounded, covered in hardwood forests that blaze with color in autumn. The Smoky Mountains provide a spectacular finale — the most visited national park in America, and for good reason.
Nashville rounds out the journey with its extraordinary musical heritage, from the Grand Ole Opry to the honky-tonks of Lower Broadway. Music, landscape, food, and history make this one of the most richly varied travelogues in the series.
