Photos and video by Dwayne Allgire

As Dwayne and Michele Allgire discovered last winter, there’s a wealth of wildlife and natural places along the 1,150-mile (1,851-kilometer) Segment 8 of the Eastern Divide Trail, aka the Florida Divide. The couple completed the segment and recently put together a video from footage they captured along the way. Watch it below, then scroll down to learn more about the route and find a few incredible stills from the trip.
