Go to the mountain! Take the backroads and hop on the Green Mountain Scenic Byway that passes through Ferndale and Montverde. Get out of your car at the Green Mountain Scenic Overlook. The overlook is a newer area where you can walkout on a long viewing platform to see a beautiful view. Newer porta potties too! Stop in Winter Garden for lunch at Thai Blossom and visit the unique stores along the same street.

On Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, continue your trip to the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. A unique 10 mile, one way, drive into the wetlands to see wildlife, birds, etc. Very unique!
