We've lived in the Nashville area since 2001 -- and all 3 of our houses have been situated relatively close to the Natchez Trace Parkway. To me, the 'The Trace' is a hidden gem of Nashville -- a place to go when you want to get away from it all and be one with nature. I've hiked it, biked it, motorcycled it, walked it with my dogs, and driven my car on The Natchez Trace Parkway more times than I can count! This is where I share some of my favorite things to do along the Natchez Trace Parkway -- which runs 444 miles from Nashville Tennessee to Natchez Mississippi and through parts of Alabama. When I'm not enjoying the beautiful outdoors along the Natchez Trace Parkway, you'll find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).

The Natchez Trace Parkway won a 2nd place award for Best Scenic Highway in Southern Living magazine. There were 2 other Tennessee attractions that won awards in Southern Living's Readers Choice Awards. 'Best shopping' and 'best mountain destination' were both awarded to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Every time I'm driving on the Natchez Trace Parkway, I can't help but glance over at The Judd's family farm. You can actually get a great look at both, Naomi Judd and Ashley Judd's homes from the Natchez Trace Parkway -- near Garrison Road in Leiper's Fork, Tennessee. Here are some pictures...

I hope you enjoy seeing the minuscule, yet oh-so-colorful changes, as they take place over these last days of Autumn. Enjoy these pictures which were taken on November 5th...

By the looks of things on the Natchez Trace Parkway today, I'd say we're a little over halfway into the color-changing process for the year. Enjoy the pictures of beautiful Fall colors on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Tennessee.

This is the bridge that spans across Highway 96 in Franklin Tennessee on the northern end of the Natchez Trace Parkway. I'm hoping to find another blue sky day to photograph this same bridge amidst some bright reds, oranges, yellows, and browns -- in the form of leaves changing colors soon!
