w MONTANA Highlights: Montana is often tackled in conjunction with Wyoming – and the Beartooth Highway connecting the two states across the mountains is one of the most spectacular drives on Earth. The Going-to- the-Sun road across the Glacier National Park – all lakes, icebergs, glaciers and precipitous hiking trails – offers stiff competition. Up-and-coming: Montana is cowboy country, and an outdoorsman’s dream. Hiking, horse riding and fishing can be taken on just about anywhere. Flathead Lake offers cruises, kayaking and canoeing, and somewhat hippy-ish university town Bozeman is the highly enjoyable home of the Museum of the Rockies. Getting there: Both Billings and Bozeman airports have connections to several cities, including Chicago, Dallas, Denver and Seattle. Book it: Ranch holidays get straight to the heart of life in


Montana, and the Inspiring Travel Company offers a seven-night package with six nights’ full- board at Rocking Z Ranch and a night on arrival in Helena, from £3,299 for travel in April or May 2019. The price includes United Airlines flights via Denver, all transfers and ranch activities. inspiringtravelcompany.co.uk


w KENTUCKY Highlights: Horses, bluegrass and bourbon are Kentucky’s calling cards. You’ll find the former around Lexington, where the Kentucky Horse Park houses the International Museum of the Horse. Bluegrass is mountain music, and the newly renamed and relocated Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum, and the annual bluegrass festival in Owensboro, are the places to go for ad hoc jam sessions. Bourbon distilleries, meanwhile,


form a boozy trail around Bardstown and Frankfort. Up-and-coming: Louisville may well be the most-underrated city
