| Hike Summary: | Tram Road - 15 miles (24 km) round trip. This flat, paved road is used for tram rides, bicycling, and walking. Along the road you may see alligators, herons, egrets, deer, turtles, and snail kites (Rostrhamus sociabilis plumbeus). An observation tower at the half-way point provides panoramic views. Bicycles may be rented from the Shark Valley Tram Tour company. Bicycling the tram road is an excellent way to see the Everglades! Note that groups of 20 bicyclists or more require a Special Use Permit. |
