Natchez Trace 2025
The Natchez Trace Parkway is one of the North American continent’s crown-jewel byways. We’re going to pedal every inch of this nearly continuous greenway linking the southern Appalachian foothills and the bluffs of the lower Mississippi River.
As we spin along the ribbon of road — the accompanying van hauling most of our gear — we’ll traverse forested ridges, coast along broad valleys, and slip through isolated hollows. We’ll ride in the tracks of pioneer mail couriers, bison, prehistoric peoples, Ohio River Valley boatmen, soldiers, and outlaws on the run. We’ll even pass through several Civil War sites, including the town that Grant said was “too beautiful to burn.”
No commercial traffic, no chasing hounds, no distracting billboards — just you, your bicycle, and some of the prettiest countryside in the South.
