LOUISVILLE TOURISM

Welcome to Bourbon City!

Named one of “52 Places to Go in 2023” by the New York Times and one of “The Best Food Cities in the U.S.” by Travel + Leisure, Louisville, Kentucky is the perfect place to get a taste of authentic America.

Nicknamed Bourbon City, Louisville is home to the world’s only walkable Bourbon experience, with a half-dozen distilleries located on historic Main Street. Stay at a Bourbon-themed accommodation, Hotel Distil, or a historic property like the Brown Hotel, the birthplace of Louisville’s signature dish, The Hot Brown.

Between sips of America’s only native spirit, visit the city’s top museums. Relish in America’s pastime at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, which manufactures around 1.8 million of the world-famous baseball bats each year.

Discover the Muhammad Ali Center, a museum dedicated to the life and legacy of the Louisville native. The attraction showcases his outstanding boxing career, life in Louisville, and navigating the country’s turbulent Civil Rights Era.

Second to fried chicken, Kentucky may be best known for the Kentucky Derby. Visit the Kentucky Derby Museum at historic Churchill Downs to get a glimpse of what “Derby Day” looks like and how it has evolved over the past 150 years.

MAMMOTH LAKES TOURISM

Mother Nature’s Adventureland is year-round!

Adventure is available year-round in Mammoth Lakes. In fact, there is a lot of debate about which season is best. But one thing everyone can agree on is that no matter what time of year you visit or what types of activities you enjoy, there are plenty of things to do in Mammoth Lakes. During winter you can ski and snowboard Mammoth Mountain or take off into the wilderness on your cross country skis. When spring hits, you can ski and also celebrate the fishing opener on the same day. The summer melts
away the snow, opening roads to Devils Postpile National Monument, 101-foot Rainbow Falls and the gateway to Yosemite National Park. Some claim autumn is the best season because you get all of the sightseeing of summer PLUS spectacular fall colors and fewer visitors.

Spectacular viewpoints at Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park

One of the most spectacular viewpoints in the park sits 3,000ft above the valley at Glacier Point. This panoramic wonder has been accessible only by foot via the Four Mile Trail since the Fall of 2021 due to critical repairs along Glacier Point Road. The 16-mile paved road was initially completed in 1936 and replaced the original wagon road. Still, due to the popularity of
many hiking trails, breathtaking viewpoints, and accessibility to the Bridalveil Creek Campground and Badger Pass Ski Area, this road required serious repairs. A 10.5-mile stretch of Glacier Point Road from Badger Pass Ski Area to Glacier Point was pulverized and repaved,
including the hairpin turns leading to the Washburn Point and Glacier Point parking areas.
