Undoubtedly the most scenic of the three National Parks in Florida is Dry Tortugas which I was able to visit in 2013 and 2014. The Dry Tortugas are the western most seven Keys in the Florida Keys chain of islands. The Dry Tortugas are about 68 miles west of Key West and are about 2.5-3 hours away by catamaran from Key West Bight. Dry Tortugas National Park is known for Fort Jefferson located on Garden Key which also happens to be the largest masonry fort built by the United States. A journey from Key West to Dry Tortugas via catamaran starts at the Key West Bight Terminal on Grinnell Street. In addition to the Dry Tortugas service there is also a ferry line to Fort Myers. There are some nice views of Trumbo Point, Mallory Square, Wisteria Island, and Tank Island pulling out of port. Three to twelve miles west of Key West are the derelict Mule Keys. The Mule Keys aren't really all that different than the rest of the Florida Keys...
Because every road has a story.
