<p>From the country's formative years of 1698 to 1850, settlers
blazed the winding trails that created the frontier. Their search
for a better life was what founded Louisiana's farms, plantations
and towns, and the Colonial Trails Scenic Byway will have you
tracing our forefather's footsteps.</p>
<p>Journey through the Kisatchie National Forest and Cajun prairie
land and stop in historic towns such as Vidalia, where Hernando de
Soto died, or visit the home of the Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe in
Marksville. A must stop is Natchitoches, the oldest city in
Louisiana. Traveling through the heart of Louisiana, you'll
experience the state's remarkable colonial heritage and scenic
beauty that gave rise to a rich culture.</p>
<p>Embracing more than 100 historic sites and points of interest,
the Colonial Trails Scenic Byway is steeped in legend, natural
beauty, colonial heritage and Civil War remembrances.</p>
