Spring is always a beautiful time in Kentucky, but this year has been especially vibrant. Perhaps it’s because we had a cold, grey, and wet winter, but the trees seem greener and the flowers more colorful than in year’s past. All of the parks and natural areas in the Bluegrass State are ideal to visit this time of year, but one hidden gem that’s particularly lovely is Raven Run Nature Sanctuary in Lexington. You may be surprised to find this natural wonder and historic destination so close to the city, and this time of year it is filled with wildflowers that make it too beautiful for words.
