More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the van in Miami as the city’s neon cools behind you and the road unspools north — palms sliding past, service plazas punctuating long stretches of highway, the faint salt of the Atlantic hanging in the air. On a clear day the drive pushes you through changing Florida: urban corridors, the edge of the Everglades, and the citrus mosaics that once defined the inland counties. The vehicle’s climate control and bottled water make the ride matter-of-fact, but the landscape still has a way of nudging your attention outward.
