Valerie Askren maps out day hikes across Louisville’s Olmsted-designed park system and the surrounding Ohio Valley, from well-known city parks to lesser-known trails in nature preserves, wildlife areas, and national forests in central Kentucky and southern Indiana.
Each trail entry includes GPS coordinates, difficulty ratings, and turn-by-turn directions, along with Askren’s own commentary and historical asides, making this a practical and entertaining companion for local hikers.
