Bernheim Forest and Arboretum in Clermont, KY. It’s about 20 minutes south of Louisville. It’s absolutely STUNNING this time of year.

They have so many beautiful art installation’s across the forest, some being forest giants like the one in the 4th photo. It’s free to enter however they do suggest leaving a donation if you can! 🤎
