Kayaking the Everglades

The Everglades (

) are unnerving. They don't reach majestically skyward
or fill your heart with the aching beauty of a glacier-carved valley. They ooze, flat
and watery, a river of grass mottled by hammocks, cypress domes and man-
groves. You can't hike them, not really. To properly explore the Everglades - and
meet its prehistoric residents up close - you must leave the safety of land. You
must push a canoe or kayak off a muddy bank, tamp down your fear and explore
the shallow waterways on the Everglades' own, unforgettable terms.
