The Canopy Bridge

Myakka State Park, FL

About 40 feet up into the Myakka canopy, one crosses this three-plank, rope suspended bridge that spans between the Lower and High Towers. After crossing, we climbed about 65 of the 75 ft. High Tower, only to be terrified out of our wits by the swaying timbers. We were climbing up in 35mph sustained winds that gusted well over 45mph! It was impossible to hold on and try to photo from the highest point, so I settled for about 10 ft. lower.
