Berea College Forest. Forest Maintained by Berea College for over 100 years, it marks the southern tip of the glacier movement during the Great Ice Age. Driving south from Lexington, KY, you travel over rolling pastures in the Blue Grass region. All of a sudden, there's a 1,300 foot range of small mountains. The overlooks offer spectacular views of farmland, bluegrass, and towns.
