Autumn is one of our favorite seasons here in the south, especially since Tennessee is teeming with fiery colors come October. In Nashville, however, it’s a bit more difficult to find a vantage point from which to see miles of beautiful autumnal color. The city has expanded so much and so quickly that it seems like nowadays we’re stuck in a cluster of neighborhoods more than in the wilderness. Which, of course, is why you need to go outside the city a bit to find an aerial glimpse of our great state.
As the Natchez Trace travels through Southern Tennessee, it goes up and down the hills through some of the most beautiful and remote forest in the state.
The most famous part of the parkway in Tennessee is the Natchez Trace bridge, just outside of Leipers Fork, and it's a great spot to see the trees in the valley change colors.
Can you imagine driving through a tunnel of trees like this one where the whole canopy is lit with different colors? Can they change already? We want to go now!
The Natchez Trace Parkway is accessible from many spots throughout the state, but the best way to start on it from Nashville is in Bellevue. Happy trails!
