31

Waypoint 31 is a numbered stop in the Everglades, part of a route designed to connect visitors with the park's most accessible natural zones. The Everglades' popularity as a destination stems partly from its accessibility — certain areas are easily reached from Miami in under an hour while feeling worlds apart from the city. This stop offers a moment to appreciate the silence that is increasingly rare in modern travel. The Everglades' ambient sounds — birdsong, insects, the occasional distant motor — contrast with the dense quiet of the deeper wilderness just beyond the route's edge.
