The Hilton Key Largo Resort in the Florida Keys is located on a dozen acres of tropical forest bounded by the Everglades on one side and coral reefs on the other. In addition to nature trails to explore, the resort recently a new "scoutabout" program, which allows guests to explore the property and learn about its natural wonders.
Sort of a eco-friendly scavenger hunt, scoutabout features a search for "discovery markers" at such points of interest as a stand of black bamboo and Gumbo Limbo Trees, called the "tourist tree" because its bark is red and peeling. The hotel is located at mile marker 97 on the Overseas Highway connecting the Florida mainland to Key West.
