13Everglades National Park
This park is the third largest national park in “the lower 48.” It is surpassed in size only by Death Valley and Yellowstone. Regular readers know that much like many other national parks on our road trip list, for a number of different reasons, it is also a popular one. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this reportedly fragile ecosystem is also an official International Biosphere Reserve.
Perhaps more importantly, it is also home to such wildlife as birds, manatees, panthers, and American crocodiles. Unlike the previously mentioned parks, this is a huge, watery place so you will only see a limited portion of it unless you stop and occasionally exit your vehicle. Take an airboat ride or go kayaking to see more of this park. Unless you enjoy hot and sticky weather, do not visit in the height of summer.
