Ultimate Guide to the Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia

  • by Fred

The Okefenokee Swamp in southeast Georgia is among the most underrated places to visit in the US. Yet, this wilderness has much beauty and adventure to offer. Covering about 640 square miles, this amazing "black water" swamp has iconic Spanish moss-covered live oaks, kneed cypress, eagles, osprey, snakes, and, of course, the American alligator. The much larger Everglades National Park in Florida gets more attention, but Okefenokee is astoundingly beautiful and accessible.

Two Medicine Area, Glacier National Park

  • by Alice

The Two Medicine area of Glacier National Park lies on the southeastern side of the Continental Divide, a little north of the town of East Glacier. In this area, amazing landscapes, hikes, boat rides, and wildlife viewing await but also fewer crowds. Most activities center around Two Medicine Lake. There is a campground, and numerous trails leave from here. The Two Medicine area feels like a different world from the Going-to-the-Sun Road and Many Glacier areas. With many fewer visitors, it is possible to feel a sense of peace and enjoy nature uninterrupted.
