The Natchez Parkway stretches
450 miles from the hills of Nashville, Tennessee, to the rich farmlands
of Natchez, Mississippi. Originally an Indian path, the Natchez Trace
became the road that opened the forested wilderness of the Deep South to
settlers, soldiers, boatmen, and outlaws. Administered by the National
Park Service, this modern-day Parkway entices cyclists from around the
world.
Included in this new edition
of Bicycling the Natchez Trace are several day excursions and
overnight tours which link the parkway with peaceful rural roads leading
to quaint towns, antebellum homes, and Civil War battlefields. Readers
will also find information on campgrounds, bed-and-breakfasts, motels,
and food locations; trip descriptions including area attractions,
natural features, and historic points of interest; climate, terrain,
elevation, and general conditions; and detailed left-right directions
and maps for routes off the parkway.
