Road to Flamingo
Nowhere in all of America does water so define a place as it does in the magni-
ficent Florida Everglades, a “river of grass” so shallow and slow moving that it
provides proof positive: still waters don't always run deep.

About 50 miles
When to go:
Winter and spring, when wildlife watching is best
Words to the wise:
Most waters are unsafe for swimming. Beware of sudden weather
changes. For protection against the sun, wear sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat; for mos-
quitoes, carry insect repellent.
