The Natchez Trace

The Old Trace

This well-worn double-track is an auto road that follows the Old Trace route north to allow people to get the feeling of the Old Trace and see the views from their cars. Driving the road would have been back-tracking for us, so we passed the opportunity. Here's a view from the road near the old tobacco barn. The Trace is following along the edge of a ridge — making it the high road, at least in this area.
