The Natchez Trace Parkway runs as a two lane road for 444 miles from Natchez, Mississippi to the suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee. It commemorates and old Native American route that was also used by the early settlers. Improvements in transportation made the obsolete. Today it is a 40mph meandering drive through three states, which also has a few historic sites along the way. I drove it in two and a half days, but a week could easily be spent driving this incredible National Park. The picture above is of part of the historic Trace. Many sections of this old road can be found near the modern paved route.
