I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
In Kentucky, the hills come alive each spring; not with the sound of music, but with the vivid color of winsome wildflowers. While many of the state’s parks boast beautiful blooms, the wildflowers at Pine Mountain State Resort Park are particularly exquisite. One of the most resplendent parks in The Bluegrass State, Pine Mountain is at peak beauty in the spring. The park’s seemingly neverending wildflowers, found all along its trails and mountainscapes, are truly something to be experienced as we enter the spring season here in Kentucky.
There's no question that Pine Mountain State Resort Park is one of the most picturesque parks in Kentucky.
These romantic beauties can be found along many of the state park system's 300 miles of trails, with an abundance to be seen along the Chained Rock Trail at Pine Mountain State Park.
The wildflower bounty here is a feast for the eyes: purple larkspur, golden ragwort, ruby-red columbine, whisper-pink rock harlequin (pictured here) -- these flowers come in the colors of the rainbow.
The lodge at Pine Mountain Resort (Kentucky's first state park, by the way) is absolutely sublime in the spring, an only-in-Kentucky experience that's bucket-list worthy.
Pine Mountain State Park‘s seemingly neverending wildflower fields and mountainscapes are truly something to be experienced. The beauty of The Bluegrass State cannot be contained, as is evidenced by this abundant array of bursting blooms.
