This 444-mile Scenic Parkway Has Some of the South's Best Fall Foliage—and It Has No Billboards or Stoplights

Natchez Trace Parkway offers a quiet 444-mile drive through Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. There are no billboards, stoplights, or gas stations along the Natchez Trace Parkway, a National Scenic Byway and an All-American Road. “Natchez Trace Parkway commemorates one of the oldest transportation routes in North America. Because the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail runs almost parallel to the parkway, you’ll also find a number of hiking opportunities in the two southernmost states of the trek. “I recommend picking up the Blackland Prairie Section of the trail, located across from the Parkway Visitor Center in Tupelo,” Toy says, referencing the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail.
