50 Hikes in South Florida Walk a beach where fossil shark’s teeth wash ashore, climb snow-colored hills of sand in the coastal scrub, or brave your way through the sawgrass prairies of the Everglades...that's the fun of hiking in South Florida! Offering 50 very different excursions into South Florida’s wilds, this guidebook covers my top picks south from Bradenton to Key West, including gems like the urban oasis of Fern Forest Nature Center in Broward County and the little-known miles and miles of backcountry trails in the National Key Deer Refuge in the Florida Keys. 50 Hikes in South Florida ISBN 0-88150-531-5 Backcountry Guides First edition, 2003, $18.95 Softcover, 366 pages.
