What Florida's landscape lacks in topography, it makes up for in
diversity, ranging from temperate Appalachian-style forests to
tangled tropical jungles. Here hikers enjoy a broad range of
habitats and wildlife that only Hawaii and California surpass.
Trails pass through desert-like scrub islands, jungle-like hydric
hammocks, and deep, dark bayous where giant cypress trees rise out
of inky water. Footpaths range through salt marshes, river
floodplains, and along coastal dunes and beaches with sparkling
white sand. Florida has the world's only Everglades, and the
delightful landforms of karst -- disappearing lakes and streams,
yawning sinkholes lush with ferns, and the world's largest
concentration of first-magnitude springs. More than 1,500
contiguous miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail stretch from
the beaches of Pensacola, at the western edge of the Panhandle, to
the Big Cypress Swamp in the Everglades.
The hikes in this new guide to the heart of the peninsula range
in length from 1.2 to 100 miles. Each hike description includes a
topographic map, mile-by-mile directions, and information on
distance, difficulty, time, and terrain.
