Everglades Ghost Orchid Hiking Adventure
 

For 3 weeks in June, Florida Backcountry Adventures offers an amazing journey like no other.  It's 10 miles of the Everglades at its best.  Trek across open skies of sawgrass prairies, cross through dense jungle tropical hammocks, wade knee deep in ancient cypress sloughs; all for a once in a lifetime experience--an encounter with the Everglades most prized possession, the Ghost Orchid.
