Book Hotels in Punta Gorda
Ozark National Forest
Dense, rolling green canopy and limestone bluffs visible shortly after departure from Springfield.
Mississippi River Crossing
The massive, winding waterway marks the border between the mid-south and the southeastern states.
Atlanta Outskirts
Potential views of the sprawling metropolitan suburbs and the rolling hills of the Georgia Piedmont.
Central Florida Lakes
As you descend, view the countless sinkhole lakes that dot the interior Florida landscape.
