À quoi s'attendre
1
Natchez Trace Parkway
A drive along the Natchez Trace Parkway is a journey through time, history, and the natural beauty of the American South. Natchez Trace is unique in that it is a national park, that is basically a ribbon of parkway enveloped by the tranquility of the countryside and sometimes urban areas. The route essentially follows the historical route of the original Trace that was a network of trails used by Native Americans and later by European explorers and traders, maintaining the legacy of these early travelers. The entire Parkway stretches over 444 miles from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee - but please note, this tour currently covers the Tennessee and Alabama portions of the drive and you can drive this tour in either direction. As the audio guides play commentary based on your GPS location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route to match your interests and schedule.

Jackson Falls
Even Nashvillians who aren’t specifically on a Natchez Trace road trip love to visit Jackson Falls. It is one of the closest waterfalls to the city and the biggest waterfall payoff for the least amount of effort. These falls were named for President Andrew Jackson. Taking in the view from the top of the falls is satisfying, but walking at least halfway down the path is even better. Continuing to the bottom reveals a clear pool and the beauty of the water stepping down a limestone outcropping.
3
Leipers Fork
A 5 minute side trip off the Parkway takes us to a small but stylish community and Leiper's Fork. While exploring the small selection of stores, restaurants and galleries, you might even spot some of country music's biggest names. The community is the home for some true headliners!
4
Meriwether Lewis Park and Monument
Meriwether Lewis was of course the leader of the famed Lewis and Clark expedition who were tasked with finding out what lay west of the Mississippi River - at the time a wholly unknown place to the young United States. The 8,000 mile journey changed the USA forever. The location contains the Monument to Lewis, as well as a reproduction of Grinder's Stand, the lodging where Lewis' life came to an end. It's not a sad place to visit - it's very interesting! It's also the site of a major campground, and there some pleasant short trails available to hike.
5
Muscle Shoals
This fascinating region is just too close to the Natchez Trace Parkway to not include a sidetrip to visit the major highlights of the Quad City area. There are five places of interest and you can choose to visit one, all, or just a few. It would be easy to fill a day to see everything if we have the time. It takes approximately 20 minutes to drive off the Trace to visit the closest site. These interesting places are: Ivy Green - The Helen Keller childhood home, The Alabama Music Hall of Fame, Muscle Shoals' 2 iconic recording studios, The Florence Mound and Museum, The Rosenbaum House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge
The last major addition that completed the Parkway's uninterrupted path - and perhaps the most visually stunning! Uniquely constructed with two concrete arches that span over the valley, this is a photo you will want to stop and take on your Natchez Trace journey.

This was the first time we used your guided tour app and we’ve already passed it along to our kids who live in other areas of the country. Narration and Highlights on the history and points of interest as well drove were exceptional. Well worth the price, too. We’re already at other tours you have.
