84

Stop 84 is a numbered waypoint on an Everglades route, reaching well into the park's interior where the ecosystem's quieter character takes hold. At this stage of a route, the distance from roads and visitor infrastructure creates a more intimate relationship with the surrounding habitat. In this part of the Everglades, the water levels and vegetation patterns shift with the seasons in ways that affect everything from alligator behavior to the flowering of aquatic plants. Visitors who return across different seasons find that the same numbered stop can offer a completely different experience each time.
