Shark Valley

We went to Shark Valley National Park. We arrived at 10:45. The parking lot is very small. There was no room to park. Rather than idle and wait. we parked on the side of the highway and rode our bikes is. There is a 14 mile bike/tram road to take. At the mid point is a 3 story tower overlooking the marsh. I looked straight down at the base of the tower and saw this big gator.

This female cormorant was waiting right beyond a rock wall.

The salt marsh is beautiful and full of herons and egrets.

We saw a dozen gators going up to the tower.
If you come I suggest you arrive before 10 a.m.

I have only been to Maplewood State Park once before. The time of the year was autumn and we thought we could snag a campsite. Wrong. Despit...
