Charter Bus to Mississippi Riverfront & Big River Crossing
Memphis's riverfront rebuilt Tom Lee Park into rolling lawns, play courts and river overlooks — named for the riverman who pulled 32 people from a 1925 steamboat wreck. A block south, Big River Crossing runs a free pedestrian/bike path across the old Harahan rail bridge — a mile-long span dropping you in West Memphis, Arkansas, with the Pyramid and downtown skyline behind you.
