Everglades Pictures: Shark Valley

Spectacular Wildlife Along the Loop Road

Here are some pictures from some of our visits at Shark Valley in the Everglades. There is no need to go far on the Loop Road to see all sorts of wildlife. All these pictures are from the start of the trail not far from the Visitor Center. Enjoy!

A Great Blue Heron greets us at the start of our walk...
