Oct 21/12 Sunny and warm 75
When you ride a motorcycle you are always checking for scenic drives and trails and roads that would be great on a bike. Asking when you check-in at campgrounds and going through the brochures as well as the Harley dealerships is always a great source of information. We also subscribe to Roadrunner Motorcycle Magazine and they do rides all across the country which they provide to you in tankmaps + digital GPS files. One other favorite of our is www.motorcycleroads.com. So at check-in the owner gave us a brochure of Kentucky Scenic Trails which we ended up doing a couple of the suggestions..... well worth it.
Cumberland Falls Trail, also known as "the dog" was our venture out today. We took highway 90 west, then down 27 and jumped back on 478 east. The brochure said to take 92 east but I found this hwy 478 on the internet on mapquest and it looking inviting. Inviting means twisting, winding, swooping curves and up and down. OH it was!!!
Cumberland Falls is known as the mini Niagara Falls of the south and has the only moonbow in North America. A moonbow is a lunar rainbow.... so when it is a full moon and a clear night you will see a rainbow in the dark at the base of the falls. Well we didn't stay till night especially with these curving backroads ! But we still saw a rainbow :)
