Hike the Florida Trail!- Big Cypress North
I75 Rest Area North, 5W9C+RX,, Collier County, FL, USMUST REGISTER AT SIERRA CLUB WEBSITE).
We will be hitting the orange blazes on a beautiful section of the Florida Trail, which in total runs more than 1,500 miles, crossing more than 100 partner land management units within the state. Traveling north from the I-75 trailhead, we enter Big Cypress north. This far dryer section of the trail in the Preserve follows Nobles Grade road while allowing beautiful swamp views. We will take the trail up to the Carpenter Camp Loop, blazed in blue and yellow, and take the main trail back to the trailhead; in total a 8 mile hike. Backcountry permits are required for day use of this area, and Jordan will have multiple on hand. They are free of charge.
This is a mostly flat path, alternating between gravel, grass, and mud. There are portions with some shade, but it is mostly open to the sun. Along the way, you will pass through open grass plains, cypress domes, and burned-out forest. There is a wide variety of plants and animals to view along the way. In short, this is a peaceful look at everything the Everglades has to offer.7 attendees
