The best time to explore the Everglades

Q: When's the best time to travel to the Florida Everglades (season/month)?

A: Most people visit Everglades National Park during the winter months (December through March). That's because temperatures aren't as high, the chance of rain is decreased, insects aren't as prevalent and wildlife are more visible at this time. However, you'll encounter more crowds during the winter months.

If you can, I'd suggest visiting the Everglades at different points during the year so you can really get to know it in all of its phases.
