## Caption

The observation tower at Shark Valley @evergladesnps . It looks cool right? But it’s exhausting to get to. 7 miles from the start of the trail. 

You can rent a bike for $20 but it’s a one speed pedal bike (shown at the end) and most of them have some level of rust to it. It takes an average biker 2-3 hours to bike the 15 mile loop so I did it in 1 1/2 hours (that’s exhausting on a one pedal bike) 

Pictured is how it felt to get to the tower and take a photo, also pictured is how it physically felt to get to the tower, only have 10 minutes to take photos and video, and then get back in time without being charged a late fee.
