A Beautiful Oregon Scenic Views from Dry Tortugas National Park!
Key West is well-known as “the end of the road” for road trippers seeking the southernmost point in the contiguous United States. However, 70 miles beyond the land of Key west lies the 100-square-mile Dry Tortugas National Park.
TAGSThe park consists almost entirely of water, plus seven tiny islands — all smaller than any of the Florida Keys. Garden Key, the main island in the archipelago, is home to Fort Jefferson.
The 200-year-old fort is one of the largest in the country and remains well-intact to this day.Most visitors arrive by ferry or floatplane and quickly explore the fort for an hour or two before heading back to Key West.
Fort Jefferson is a massive but unfinished coastal fortress. It is the largest brick masonry structure in the Americas, and is composed of over 16 million bricks.
