If you ever venture to the Florida Keys, Everglades National Park is a must. The park protects more subtropical land and water than anywhere else in the United States. It is the largest tract of wilderness east of the Rocky Mountains.
From a biological perspective, it is home to some of the most rare and endangered species in the U.S.; the West Indian manatee, the American crocodile, and more than a dozen others. It is one of the most significant corridors and stopovers for migrating species. And it is home to the largest mangrove ecosystem in the Western hemisphere.
But from a human perspective, this place offers educational, recreational, and inspirational opportunities found nowhere else in the world.
