Visit Florida Gallery

In 2015, Visit Florida featured a series of articles about our Florida Scenic Highways. A different photographer took photos of each byway as part of this project, giving us a wonderful window on each byway. The Ridge Scenic Highway was photographed by Willie J. Allen Jr. All images are copyrighted by Willie J. Allen Jr. and Visit Florida, and cannot be used for any other purpose than this gallery.
