KY Color Road Report: Muldraugh Hill, Marion Co. is spectacular

Billy Joe Fudge sent this road report on Kentucky Color while on the road to the Rebel Classic Marching Band Festival in Florence, KY, today:


Muldraugh Hill is spectacular today. I've been to the Smoky Mountains and I've seen the Green Mountains of Vermont. Neither is a match for Muldraugh Hill today.On the West side (of KY 55) the hill is solid yellow, with mostly poplar.

On the East Side it's a splash of variegated reds and oranges and purples and some deep green evergreens. It's a visual feast, and a picture some landscape photographer ought to get. It's worth a trip to see today.

The location is just north of the Taylor County line in Marion County. It's maybe six miles north of Campbellsville, so I'd put it at only 25 miles or so from the Square in Columbia.

This is always one of Kentucky's most beautiful scenes, with the knobs and valleys, in any season. But Libby and I think this may the very prettiest it ever gets. We would love to see some imaginative photographers capture the vistas for all to see.

Of course, at this time of autumn, the north is ahead of us in fall color, and higher areas have leaf turns before lower ones.
