bicycling-the-natchez-trace.jpg "Bicycling the Natchez Trace: A Guide to the Natchez Trace Parkway and Nearby Scenic Routes" by Glen Wanner is 219 pages of helpful information for bicyclists considering a trip along the Natchez Trace Parkway.

In this book, you'll learn the best locations along the Trace for things like food, water and lodging, plus lots of practical advice to make your bike ride even more enjoyable.


After reading Glen Wanner's book, you'll have a pretty good grasp of what you can expect while bicycling on the Natchez Trace Parkway.

And you won't want to leave this book at home either... It's one thing you'll definitely want to pack and take with you when you ride!

According to book reviewer, Jim Grant:

About 40 percent of the book is taken up with auxiliary routes that either start or cross the Trace and are not a part of traveling the Trace from end to end.

From David Dupuis:

I planned for this ride for the better part of eight months using Glen's book as a guide. As this was my first solo self contained ride I wanted to do it right. When it came down to departure date I started to organize all my gear,I had a stack of maps and literature that weighed in at about 15 lbs! I quickly narrowed this down to one map supplied free from The National Parks Service and Bicycling The Natchez Trace by Glen Wanner.
