Yes the Natchez Trace is not mountainous but it is hilly. We have driven it several times in the fall and the tree color was magnificent. For those folks farther south it might be more doable than the Skyline Trail.

The fall is beautiful, but the short season of Dogwood Blooms is also great.

I recommend you read:

The Legend of the Dogwood, Elaine M. Jordan

and Legend of The Dogwood Tree.
