Everglades National Park — Go Before the Bugs Come!
If you’ve been thinking about a trip to Florida’s Everglades National Park, go soon, before the rainy season comes. Not because you might get rained out during the wet season, but because of a 4-letter word that strikes terror into Floridians’ hearts.
B-U-G-S.
More specifically, mosquitoes that will pick you up and fly away with you. Okay, maybe not, but they will plague you until you wish you were somewhere else.
Everglades National Park is a really neat place to visit, especially in the cooler, drier months like now. It’s full of all kinds of wildlife, especially the Shark Valley entrance on the north side of the park. If you go to Shark Valley, make sure you take the tram ride tour. It’s about 2 hours long and covers about 15 miles of parkland. It’s very popular, though, so get your tickets when you walk into the park.
The Florida Everglades are truly unique, and it’s not until you actually visit that you realize how beautiful, and how fragile, this glorious piece of Florida is.
