A Photographic Journey along the Florida National Scenic Trail
For most of a decade, Sandra and John have delighted audiences around Florida and the eastern United States with their slideshows of the natural beauty of the Florida Trail.
With Sandra completing her end-to-end section hike of the trail in 2019, it was time to put those images into print. Across 196 full-color pages, we bring you a walk along the length of the Florida Trail.
Despite Florida’s lack of mountains, our state has an incredible amount of habitat diversity, which you’ll find reflected as you hike the trail.
Photos span from the southern terminus at Big Cypress to the northern terminus at Gulf Islands National Seashore. We include the spur trails – Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail and Blackwater – as well as both sides of Lake Okeechobee and Central Florida, more than 1,500 miles in all.
Florida Trail Association founder Jim Kern provides a foreword, and each section of the trail includes a short introduction. In the back of the book, you’ll find captions grouped under each section with locations noted.
This is a small format hardcover coffee table book, 7×5″, ideal for sharing the beauty of the Florida Trail with friends and family.
Each copy is shrink-wrapped for protection. All pre-ordered copies will be signed, but we will not otherwise plan to sign these books unless specifically requested.
If you want your copy inscribed to you or to someone else as a gift, please note that specific inscription in the Paypal checkout.
