The Florida Everglades
I've been lucky enough to visit the Florida Everglades
many times, especially as a child, since I lived right on the edge of its
borders. It contains the largest tropical rainforest in the USA, and is
a wonderful break from the New England winter. There are many excellent long-distance
canoe trails that traverse the park. Try doing a multi-day trip via canoe
or kayak, camping on the "chickies" (raised shelters) out in the
middle of nowhere! It is an experience you'll never forget!!!

I did some camping on islands out in the everglades with folks from the
EVERGLADES HOSTEL

The four of us met the day before this trip, and had an awesome three days
out in the backcountry

We did some backcountry tours with the folks from the Everglades Hostel,
they used some of these fotos on their Everglades Tours page
