点评:For me Everglades National Park is one of my favorite parks because there are some many different things to see here. There are also so many ways to experience it. You can kayak, bike or ride an airboat, but one of the best things to do is a "Wet Walk" where you simply walk into the Everglades with no trail. The only way to do this is by booking an experience with the Everglades Institute before you go.
I recently visited Everglades National Park with 4 other couples and my wife. When I told them before going that we would simply walk into the Everglades with no trail, they thought I was crazy. After we finished it, everyone said this was their favorite activity we did on the entire trip.
You book a two-hour trip that includes just over an hour walking in the park with the remainder your car ride to and from the site from the Coe VC. You have to wear close toed shoes as your foot can sink ankle deep in mud and the can walk knee deep in water. Be sure to wear shoes you can tightly tie as one member wore slip-ons that she lost in the mud.
Our guide Albert was great, and he took us to cypress dome not far off the main road called Double Dome. After parking the van on the side of the road, we just walked in. The beginning close to the road with fewer trees was actually the hard place to walk as the mud here was the thickest. As you approached the dome, the trees got taller and there were more roots to the support you. However, it was here the water got deeper. We hiked around the dome and enjoyed the flora and fauna. The cypress were impressive, but the bromeliads were incredible. We also so much wildlife, birds of all types, especially ibis and spoonbills, as well as a couple of 7' alligators living in the dome.
It was an incredible experience and simply the best way to experience the Everglades. Everyone loved it.

最近,我和另外四对夫妇以及我的妻子一起游览了大沼泽地国家公园。出发前,当我告诉他们我们将直接走进没有步道的大沼泽地时,他们都觉得我疯了。但体验结束后,每个人都说这是整个旅程中最喜欢的活动。
你需要预订一个两小时的行程,其中包含一个多小时的公园徒步,其余时间则是从科伊游客中心 (Coe VC) 往返公园的车程。你必须穿包头鞋,因为你的脚可能会陷到脚踝,也可能要趟过齐膝深的水。务必穿可以系紧的鞋子,因为我们当中有人穿了拖鞋,结果鞋子掉进泥里了。
我们的向导阿尔伯特非常棒,他带我们去了离主路不远的柏树穹顶,也就是双穹顶。我们把车停在路边后,就直接步行进去了。靠近路边树木稀少的那段路其实最难走,因为那里的泥浆最厚。随着我们靠近穹顶,树木越来越高,树根也越来越多,可以更好地支撑身体。不过,也是从这里开始,水也越来越深。我们绕着穹顶徒步,欣赏着周围的动植物。柏树令人印象深刻,凤梨科植物更是美得令人惊叹。我们还看到了许多野生动物,各种各样的鸟类,尤其是朱鹭和琵鹭,以及几条生活在穹顶里的七英尺长的鳄鱼。
这是一次令人难以置信的体验,也是体验大沼泽地国家公园的最佳方式。大家都非常喜欢。
