    We walked Anhinga and Gumbo LImbo trails, but there wasn't much at the visitor center. Also the vultures here attack the rubber and plastic on cars.

    Very beautiful day..the alligators were so close.It was a very scary,yet thrilling wildlife experience.We visited this park at the right time..no bugs biting and the rain/hurricane season has not started yet. What I have read the best time to visit is during the winter/early spring months.

    Rangers were very friendly and helpful. They turned on the movie for us and recommended the guided tour to the missile site. Must visit for this national park!
