When most people think of Florida, they generally do not equate the Sunshine State to be quite mountainous. Florida tends to remain quite flat throughout. So when you hear about this particular mountain, and how spectacular it is to drive up, it certainly draws some intrigue. See for yourself what it’s like to drive to the top of Florida’s highest point.
The highest point on the geographic Peninsula of Florida is Sugarloaf Mountain near the small town of Clermont.
