Bike Tour of Everglades

Tuesday morning we biked the Long Pine Key trail with a park volunteer.  We enjoyed learning about the nine different ecosystems that make up the park, the invasive species that threaten the park and what they are doing to curb them.  Long pants, long sleeves and netting over the bike helmets kept the mosquitoes at bay.

Note the helmet with netting
