Everglades Tower
Shark Valley in Everglades National Park is simply a must see. I can not imagine anyone not enjoying the tram ride to the tower and back. Close views of wildlife, including Alligators, stunning landscapes, and the tower to climb for even more expansive views.
This is the tower, on what might have been the ideal day for a visit. Just a snapshot really. I took only this one view of the tower as subject, but with the sky and clouds cooperating, it does the job.

I was there last winter, my first time in the Everglades, and you’re right, it sure was a sight to see. I’m from Delaware, but I was visiting a friend who’s a south Florida native, and the Shark Valley trip was her idea. Sure was nice to be wearing shorts and a tank top instead of boots and a parka!
