With the warmer weather (we're seeing 70's during the day and 40's at night here in Franklin) and extended daylight hours (thanks to Daylight Saving Time being bumped up 3 weeks earlier), the one place that motorcyclists in Middle Tennessee flock to is the Natchez Trace Parkway.

But, the fact of the matter is... motorcycle riders from many different places are making their way to the Trace these days.

The Natchez Trace Parkway has become a leading tour route for motorcyclists from all over the country. Everyone wants to "ride the Trace" at some point in time!

Motorcycles... and bicycles... and cars... oh my!

Truth is, those are only some of the vehicles you'll find sharing the road on the Natchez Trace Parkway...

When I first moved to Tennessee, I was a little confused by this myself.

I figured there was only one Natchez Trace... Right?

Wrong!

In reality, there is a Natchez Trace Parkway and a Natchez Trace Park -- similar, yet different.
