It’s Fall Break! Already? Now that half of the semester is already behind us, it’s time to celebrate (and get a breath of fresh air). We all need it. School will be out from Friday through Tuesday (Oct. 9-13). Following are a few day trips to consider during these beautiful, cool days.
* Drive down the Natchez Trace Parkway. This winding road through the Tennessee wilderness offers overlooks, hikes, historic landmarks, and more. https://www.nps.gov/natr/index.htm
* Visit the beautiful Nickajack Lake off Interstate 24 for a hike on TVA's Little Cedar Mountain Trail. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/tennessee/little-cedar-mountain-trail
* While you’re over near Nickajack (in Jasper), enjoy an outdoor lunch or dinner at Top of the Rock Restaurant and Brewery. The venue offers delicious meals and breathtaking views. www.topoftherockbrewery.com
