The dry season in the Everglades concentrates wildlife, making it easier for visitors to observe species such as alligators and wading birds. However, proximity to wildlife, especially alligators, requires caution. Visitors should maintain a safe distance and avoid disturbing animals, even when they appear close to trails. Additionally, winter weather in Florida can still be wet and windy, so proper gear is recommended to ensure a comfortable experience. The park's ecosystem is sensitive, and responsible tourism practices are essential to minimize human impact.
