We woke up Saturday morning (December 23,
by the way) on Long Key. Drove to Miami and had several hours
to spend in the Everglades before finding a late dinner in Miami and
arriving at the Ft. Lauderdale airport around 5pm. So we wanted a taste of the Everglades without having a full day to take it in. In this situation, ask a ranger! He pointed us to the Royal Palm area and the Anhinga Trail. Wow! What a great little hike. The trail is basically a boardwalk and is only a ½-mile long, but the amount and diversity of the wildlife is incredible. Though most all of the Everglades is a swamp, this area is centered around two large open ponds (pictured). For the full view of this shot, click here. |
