Jonathan Dickinson State Park - Hobe Mountain

This past long weekend we visited Jonathan Dickinson State Park, between Jupiter and Stuart, about 100 miles North of Miami. We visited - and ascended - Hobe "mountain", the highest natural point South of Lake Okeechobee, all 86 feet of it!
The 10-minute walk up to the peak was strenuous and left us flatlanders quite breathless! Not being used to overlooking anything in Florida, the view was very pretty. The observation tower gives a view of the Atlantic Ocean, the intracoastal waterway, the entire expanse of the park, as well as a glimpse of Tiger Wood's East Coast home on the Jupiter Inlet.
