Tamiami Trail "Triathlon" - Hike



WHO: Anybody and Everybody
WHERE: Oasis Visitor Center
TIME: 8:30AM

Let's take a swamp hike for the 2nd leg of this "Triathlon". The hiking portion, a 3-mile-loop trail, originates from the Oasis Visitor Center in Big Cypress National Preserve. There is no entrance fee associated with this area. However, participants must complete a BackCountry Permit to access the backcountry within the Preserve. Hikers should be aware that they may be walking in wet or muddy conditions, and should bring a change of shoes, socks and pants for after their adventure. It is highly recommended to wear lightweight pants in the swamp rather than shorts. During certain times of the year (the summer rainy season) triathlon participants may be walking in water about knee (20 - 30 inches) deep. A walking stick is always a good idea while hiking in the swamp. Bring plenty of water, snacks, a hat and extra batteries for your camera. We will be taking a group photo at the beginning and a group photo and logbook signing at the end of our hike. We will be hiking at a leisurely pace.
