Get an up-close look at the "sea of grass" while traversing Big Cypress National Preserve on US 41. Experience the primeval beauty of diverse habitats - marshlands, dry prairies, islands of palmettos, stands of pine and hardwoods, and dense mangrove forests propped up on stilt-like roots. Eagles and hawks swoop overhead while alligators lurk around cypress knees.
