Three roads in Alabama have been designated as National Scenic Byways: Talladega Scenic Drive; Natchez Trace Scenic Byway and the Selma to Montgomery March Scenic Byway/All American Road/National Historic Trail. Talladega Scenic Drive – The Talladega Scenic Drive runs 29 miles from just west of Heflin, south along Alabama Highway 281 and terminates at Adams Gap. The 29-mile drive passes through the Talladega National Forest and travels the backbone of the Horseblock and Cheaha Mountains, the southern most extension of the Appalachian Mountain Range, and Alabama’s highest peak at 2,407 feet of elevation. Many other southern, natural attractions are related to the Byway including foliage, vistas and rock formations.
Selma to Montgomery March Byway – The Selma to Montgomery March Byway is also designated as an All American Road and National Historic Trail. The Byway incorporates 43-miles of US Highway 80 beginning in the streets of Selma, Alabama and extending through Lowndes County into the State Capitol, Montgomery. This Byway encompasses the living history of the voting rights struggle for African Americans throughout the South and the United States. Numerous interpretive and educational facilities are provided to enhance the Byway experience. Natchez
Trace Parkway – The Natchez Trace Parkway extends
425 miles through three states including Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi. The Parkway connects the former frontier cities of
Nashville, Tennessee and Natchez, Mississippi. The Byway route served
Natchez, Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians; French and Spanish explorers;
and ultimately farmers and frontiersmen from the South and Midwest
returning from the Mississippi River and New Orleans. Numerous recreational,
educational and historical opportunities abound along this Byway
including considerable portions of National Park properties.
