It penetrates the heart of the Big Cypress National Preserve and parallels the northern boundary of Everglades National Park.

Crossing a mosaic of environments, from freshwater sawgrass marsh to saltwater mangrove forest, the Tamiami Trail offers travellers a scenic overview of Everglades' environments. Prior to completion, it took early explorers eighteen days to make the trek across the watery wilderness of the Everglades.
