This Canopy Walk in Kentucky may not be as long as some, but the views are just as breathtaking. It is easy to wander around Bernheim for hours just soaking up nature and enjoying the serenity. Bernheim Forest was one of my favored spots in youth, and still provides a welcome escape from the city. The tree top walk wasn’t around back then, but it is a welcome distraction now.
