Hiking
The bald cypress is truly impressive. It is primarily found in flooded areas but can also survive severe droughts. Its extremely slow growth and very advanced age characterize it, as does its so-called "breathing knee," which grows upwards like a root against gravity, resembling a termite mound in its shape.
