MADISON,TN-The fourth annual Natchez Trace Fall Foliage Photo Contest is here, just as temperatures have begun to drop in the upper portion of the Trace.
The contest officially starts on October 10, 2014 and runs through the 22nd of November. 10 photographs will be chosen as winners by our staff.
Just in case someone is not familiar with the Trace, The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile-long national park that has been designated as one
of America’s National Scenic Byways by the Federal Highway Administration. The most scenic of these byways are also designated as All-American
Roads, and the Natchez Trace Parkway is one of only 31 All-American Roads.
The parkway offers multiple opportunities for enjoying fall foliage – scenic overlooks, waterfalls, streams, river crossings, historic sites,
sunken roads, numerous twists and turns of the parkway, and sections of the 200+ year-old original Natchez Trace. All of these spots provide
ample occasions each year for inspiring photos.
While predicting the peak dates for fall foliage on the Trace is tough, the ideal window of time typically occurs from mid to late October in
Tennessee, from late October to early November in Northwest Alabama/Northeast Mississippi, and from early to mid November in Central
Mississippi. To help travelers plan Where & When to See Fall Colors on the Trace we have posted over 300 pictures from the last three seasons –
for each photo, we have the date photo was taken, where on the Trace the photo was taken along with an approximate map location. See:

Place photo a $200 gift certificate, 3rd Place photo a $150 gift certificate and seven Honorable Mention photos will each receive
