The self-guided trail winds through Todd County, Kentucky, about 90 minutes northwest of Nashville, where farms and businesses compete to build the most elaborate hay-bale sculptures each fall.

This year's trail runs through October 31, giving leaf-peepers and pumpkin-patch regulars an extra reason to extend a Middle Tennessee fall road trip.
