The Natchez Trace Makes Top Lists (And Why You Should Put It On Yours)
As we all know, it has been pretty cold along the Natchez Trace Parkway. We recently made the case for why winter is a great time to visit the trace, and it seems folks may agree! The Trace saw nearly 700,000 visitors during the last month of 2014. That’s an increase of over 200,000 visitors from the same time last year. That figure also puts the 444 mile scenic byway on track to near 7 million visitors for the year, and be quite the contender in the Top 10 Most Visit National Park Service Sites. Those aren’t bad numbers to kick off the new year and begin the celebration of the National Park Services Centennial in 2016!
