Dwarf Cypress Forest GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

While not technically a trail, nor can I even track my route, this little adventure is definitely worth a mention. The muddy section has enough solid ground to explore the beauty of the Everglades away from the roar of airboats. Though my coordinates may be a bit off, look for a sign that reads "Dwarf Cypress Forest". There won't be a trail or turn off, so park on the side of the road and roam around with the gators in the mud. A bit terrifying at times, but definitely an experience that made me feel pretty alive.

Alligators everywhere. And snakes. Actually, in hindsight, this was pretty dangerous.
