Natchez Trace Parkway

If you are driving south from Ontario, through Tennessee, be sure to take the Natchez Trace Pkwy. It is managed by the NPS (National Park Service) and is 444 miles long running from Nashville, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi. First used as a path by the Indians, then by trappers and hunters and later by settlers, the Trace was the main north south route for thousands of years. Today you can explore its history, walk and drive the original path and camp for free along its route. Enjoy a few pictures taken as we explored this historic route for two days.





Below are pictures of the old Trace deeply worn by the men, women and animals
who followed this route over thousands of years.



Tomorrow we reach Texas and join Marvin & Annie from Peterborough.
