Everglades National Park
In December of 2021 I went to Fort Lauderdale for a music festival. It was a short trip, but I did spend an extra day so that I could check out the Everglades. I did a one day tour that included an air boat trip and some guided hikes. We also spent some time cruising in the mangroves and had some dolphins playing in our wake. I would love to go back and see more of the park, but the one day I spent there was so filled with cool things to see, it was a great day.
