The Natchez Trace is one of the most bucolic and pristine scenic drives in North America. I recently had the privilege of driving home at sundown on The Trace with my father Ken Blakey and we were compelled to pull over several times to grab a few photos. “The Trace” is part of The United States National Register of Historic Places and is federally protected from the pitfalls that impinge on traditional American roads. There are no billboards or advertisements and the parkway is immaculately kept by a special commission. There is only one exit/onramp every five miles or so making it a completely unique driving experience for all.
