About Travel & Places

The Everglades stretch across the southern tip of Florida in a slow, shallow sheet of water barely inches deep — what the Seminole called Pahayokee, the "grassy waters." Sawgrass prairies ripple in the breeze, cypress domes rise like cathedrals from the dark water, and a great blue heron stands motionless at the edge of a slough, watching. It is one of the largest subtropical wilderness areas in the United States, and a place unlike anywhere else on Earth.
