It’s a 3-mile trek through towering oaks draped in Spanish moss, ending at a sight that’ll leave you breathless (and maybe a little nervous): hundreds — sometimes hundreds — of alligators basking along the shore.

Sarah Phinney on Instagram: "AM I SEEING THIS RIGHT⁉️ Deep Hole at Myakka River State Park’s Wilderness Preserve is legendary.
