The Natchez Trace — Local services in Saltillo

04/2024 Nice drive along a winding country road. The 50 mph speed limit is nice for viewing. There are many stops to pull off at. Most pull offs are just a sign explaining what use to be there or what happened in the general location. There are a few mounds to see and a couple short trails to walk.

I LOVE the Natchez Trace parkway. If you want to go for a long drive without alot of distracting traffic and want to explore nature trails, spend real time with family in nature( bonding time), take pictures of wildlife, waterfalls, springs, old cabins and historic sites or cookout & grill or simply carry a picnic basket, this is a good place to make it happen. They have grills at some sites, readily available and clean bathroom stops. I love it and it's also great place for meditating, and finding peace and quiet, a place to clear your mind. And last but not least, it's great for...
