Everglades National Park
Hiking
Hiking in the Everglades is surprisingly good, with a fair range of trail options. None that you would call strenuous, unless you want to pack granite blocks and runjust barely perceptible rises. The long Pine Tree Trail is a good first choice for those wanting to be out for a couple of days.
The trails and trailheads are concentrated around three visitor centers: Flamingo, Long Pine Key, and Shark Valley. There are no hiking trails at the Gulf Coast Visitor Center, although nearby areas such as Fakahatchee State Preserve and Big Cypress National Park offer trails.
Oh, and another tip you can leave your ice equipment at home.
