Tennessee River

Soon after we crossed into Alabama, we approached the longest bridge on the Trace, across the Tennessee River.

These pictures are from the Lauderdale turnout, on the north side of the river. It was gorgeous as the water was so still and reflected like glass.

We then crossed the bridge to the south side and visited the Colbert Ferry location. Evidently there is sometimes a ranger station at this location, but not on the day we were there.

Nonetheless, it was a pretty stop.
