20

Waypoint 20 falls along a marked Everglades route where the transition between upland pinelands and freshwater marsh becomes visible. This edge habitat — where two distinct ecosystems meet — tends to concentrate wildlife, making numbered stops in this stretch particularly rewarding for observant visitors. The Everglades' ecology changes noticeably over short distances, and stop 20 is a good example of how a single pause can reveal layers of habitat. Alligators, egrets, and small wading birds are commonly spotted along these transition zones.
