On our way south we stopped briefly at the Shark Valley visitor center in Everglades national park. However the main attraction from this visitor center is a 15 mile paved trail. There are trams that operate on this trail, but it is perfect for a relaxed bike ride. When we stopped on the way south it was getting late in the day so we didn't have time to complete the loop before it got dark. So instead we decided to skip it and make sure to stop on the way back north.
The trail was well worth the bike ride, and it was nice to be able to stop and take pictures of all of the wildlife as we went along. There were a ton of animals a long the way.

In the middle of the loop there is a 45 foot tall observation tower. From the top there are amazing panoramic views of the "river of grass" as well as many of the birds and other wildlife that the park has to offer.
It was beautiful and a great way to end our time in southern Florida before rushing to Texas for Christmas.
