Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Homestead, FL 33030, USA
Just ahead is the Everglades entrance station. Here’s a quick run-down of the prices: If you only plan on visiting the Everglades this year, I recommend the $30 pass. It’s valid for 7 days.

Stop At: Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center, 40001 State Road 9336, Everglades National Park, FL
Throughout the early 1900s, large swaths of the Everglades were drained, filled in, and turned into agricultural or residential land. Hunting of the local wildlife was rampant and unchecked. It seemed only a matter of time before the entire wetland would be wiped off the face of the earth.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Snake Bight Trail, Florida, USA
Up next is Snake Bight Trail. Don’t let the name scare you. That’s B-I-G-H-T, not B-I-T-E. A bight is a kind of bay, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here.

Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Christian Point Trail, Homestead, FL 33034, USA
Coming up soon is Christian Point Trail. If you’re looking to get away from the crowds a little, this might be the trail for you, as it’s not one of the more popular ones in the park.

The whole thing is four miles round trip, and leads to another wide-open view of the shoreline accessible from Snake Bight Trail.

Stop At: Loop Road, Big Cypress National Preserve, Ochopee, FL 34141-2083
Continue straight. You’re cruising along what’s called the Loop Road. It might be easy to drive, but it certainly wasn’t easy to build. Back in 1915, Miami businessman James Jaudon had an idea. He envisioned a highway which cut across the South Florida swamp, allowing for easy transport of goods.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: County Road 94, County Rd 94, Florida, USA
So how did this place end up becoming a national preserve anyway- Well, it actually started with plans to build an airport. See, when the Everglades became a national park in the 1940s, the federal government wasn’t able to purchase this land from private owners, so it wasn’t included. That left it vulnerable to development. In the 1960s, the government unveiled a plan to build the Big Cypress Jetport within the area. At the time, it would have been the largest airport in the world.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Gator Hook Trail, Jerome, FL 34141, USA
