The Natchez Trace Parkway
Of course, some journeys are just as memorable as the destination.
The Natchez Trace Parkway is one of America's most scenic drives, following nearly 450 miles of the historic travel corridor once used by Native Americans, explorers, traders, soldiers, and early settlers. Stretching from Nashville, Tennessee, to its southern terminus in Natchez, the Parkway offers breathtaking forests, historic sites, hiking trails, overlooks, and cultural landmarks, all while preserving the peaceful pace that has made it one of the National Park Service's most beloved roads.
Many of our guests choose to make the Trace part of their adventure, spending several days exploring its history before arriving in Natchez, where the story reaches its natural conclusion. There is no better way to appreciate the history of the American South than by following the footsteps of those who traveled this route centuries ago.
Whether you arrive by air or by way of the Natchez Trace, your journey ends in one of America's most extraordinary historic cities. We can't wait to welcome you to Natchez.
