Scenic KY: Crossing the Kentucky River 2017-09-21 - The Kentucky River bridge, heading south on Hwy 68 - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Heading south from Lexington, KY, I marveled at the beautiful scenery winding down through the hills of the Bluegrass and inching over the bridge on Hwy 68 where it crosses the Kentucky River. This photo was taken (without looking off the road) from the good lane, paralleling the unfinished lane under construction, wondering why I'd chosen that road, praying it would hold up under the vehicles crossing it. The beautiful Kentucky Palisades and Boone Tunnel are to the left of the river as pictured. -- LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic KY: Entrance to Boone Tunnel 2017-09-21 - Between Lexington and Harrodsburg, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. If you're in a hurry, do not take Hwy 68/Harrodsburg Road between Lexington and Harrodsburg, KY. However, if you have plenty of time and a desire to see some of the most incredible scenery in the Bluegrass, go ahead and travel it. This photograph was taken at the stoplight for work being done on the Jessamine County bridge where Hwy 68 crosses over the Kentucky River. Looking left, while waiting for the green light to travel on into Mercer County, and enjoy the historic Boone Tunnel carved through the Kentucky Palisades. The Kentucky River meanders 260 miles through Kentucky. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
