Everglades National Park

Everglades National Park is located at the southern tip of Florida and covers approx. 1.5 million acres. It is one of the largest national parks in the contiguous United States, second only to Death Valley and Yellowstone. The entire wetland is often described as a slowly flowing "River of Grass"—freshwater flows slowly from the interior toward the sea, sawgrass stretches like an ocean, and mangroves and bays converge at the southern end of the park, creating a rare subtropical wilderness view. This wetland is also a paradise for wildlife: American alligators float on the water, manatees swim slowly in the warm waterways, and the elusive Florida panther can be found here. Water birds such as roseate spoonbills and wood storks make this a famous bird-watching destination in North America. There are many trails and tour routes to choose from in the park: the Anhinga Trail features a boardwalk elevated above the water and is a classic spot for observing alligators and water birds up close; Shark Valley Visitor Center is a loop route that goes deep into the heart of the River of Grass, which can be explored by bike or tram, and the observation tower at the end offers a panoramic view of the wetlands; head south along the main road to reach the Flamingo area, where you can take a boat into the mangrove waterways; theTen Thousand Islands areaon the west side is crisscrossed with waterways and is suitable for boat tours. The park is very large, and the entrances are scattered and not connected to each other. During the dry season, the water level drops, and animals concentrate near the ponds, making them easier to observe. There are campgrounds in the park for visitors who want an in-depth experience.Monroe County · >100 km from downtown

Everglades National Park is a completely different world. A speedboat ride on the Grass River carries the scent of damp earth and vegetation. Alligators float silently on the water's edge like dead trees, while egrets glide across the vast, sea-like swamp. The sun is blazing, yet everything grows silently, possessing a primal and powerful vitality.

In Key West, Southern Most Point should be an iconic check-in point. Many people line up to take photos. It is only 90 miles from here to Cuba. The entire island chain is very Central and South American. I miss the sunshine and sea there so much. I don’t know if I can go there again in my lifetime.

Seven Mile Bridge In 1996, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the film "True Lies", which was filmed on the old bridge of the Seven Mile Bridge. The old bridge was deliberately broken into pieces to prevent people from walking on it and causing accidents. Occasionally, there are still some parts that are still intact, and many people are fishing there.
