Alabama hiking trails - Natchez Trace, Colbert County LOCATION Latitude: -blank- Longitude: -blank- User input for Natchez Trace, Colbert County, Alabama: - Felicia My family went to Natchez Trace from Cullman, AL for a Sunday drive mostly to enjoy the fall foliage. We got on NTP off of Hwy. 72 & it was spectacular plus there were deer grazing along the way back just as the sun was setting. We stopped to watch & tried to count but there were too many!!! Amazing! I have never seen so many in one place like that. There was at least 10. I stopped counting & just enjoyed their beauty & grace. We stopped & hiked the Rock Spring trail where there was a huge beaver damn built on a extremely calm & pretty creek! There was lots of info stops along the way with very useful tidbits about the native animals along the wetlands & woods in this region. It only took us 30 minutes to hike it & it was nice to get a little exercise before we went back to our lazy Sunday drive! I highly recommend driving the Natchez Trace! Back in August of 2005 we took part of it on our way back from a trip from California. We got on it at Jackson, Missippi to just before Tupelo & was in awe that such a natural and breathtaking place was this close to home! I highly recommend any part of the Trace & we plan to go back to Colbert County & get on the ferry across the Tennessee River!!! That sounds like fun! Happy Hiking! F.
