Everglades National Park, Everglades City FL

January 21, 2015 Florida 1 min read 7 photos

I spent the winter of 2015 in Florida and, I have to say, I'm just not very fond of the place. I'm more of a mountain girl than a ocean girl and Florida's highest point above sea level is only 345' (Britton Hill). I did enjoy meeting the people of Carrabelle, where I stayed, and taking a few tours of the swamps and rivers.

The Everglades National Park, which provides important habitat for numerous rare and endangered species like the manatee, American crocodile, and the elusive Florida panther, is always a great stop and one I hadn't done since I was a young child.
