Traveling is no reason to forego the fitness routine, and it’s a happy traveler that finds a convenient, safe—and beautiful to boot—place to walk or jog. Join the many local fans of the Arboretum (the State Botanical Garden of Kentucky) who take advantage of the jogging trails that wind their way through the gorgeously kept 100-acre grounds. Play the visitor card and check out the two-mile trail through Walk Across Kentucky—a path that lets you explore the seven geophysical regions of Kentucky without leaving downtown. Canopy trees and a native understory from each region are well-signed. Another especially popular spot is the Rose Garden. Relax in the gazebos dotted throughout the property when you’ve run your fill. Those traveling with the little ones will want to check out the excellent programming offered at the Arboretum. It’s a hit among Lexington families for its high-quality classes. Summer brings outdoor theater festivals.
