Waypoint 2A is part of the alphanumeric marker system used on certain Everglades routes, indicating a sub-point or branch off a main numbered sequence. These split markers help guide visitors at forks or junctions in the route network, keeping orientation clear in a landscape with few visual landmarks.
Like all stops in this system, 2A is a place to pause, orient yourself on the route, and observe. The Everglades' subtle variety — different depths of water, shifts in vegetation density, and the sounds that change from open marsh to sheltered hammock — unfolds stop by stop.
