City of Dreams
The Everglades
So after you go, go, go in the hectic sorta
big city, a great place to get back in touch with sanity is with The Everglades.
It's a relatively short drive from the city, about an hour, but in the
park you've got tranquility that you can't buy in Miami. Don't go looking
for airboat rides or alligator wrestling in the park. You can find that
crap elsewhere in the everglades, but not within the park boundries.
Take the Florida Turnpike down to the end (Florida
City). Make a right at the first light. Follow the road around, about
ten miles along you should be at the ranger station. Get a map from the
ranger. Call ahead if you need more information. Park Headquarters, 305-242-7700
or for lodging, or tours, 305-253-2241.
A good place to start is the Royal Palm Visitor
Center. Walk the Anhinga and Gumbo-Limbo trails. You'll see lots of wildlife,
including: alligators, anhingas, egrets, herons, various and plantlife.
Don't forget to bring bug repellent and fill the car up with gas before
getting to The Everglades.
