It’s in Central Florida!
By Natashia E Ford
I recently took a drive through part of the Green Mountain Scenic Byway, which honestly I never                    knew existed until last week.
If you’re into beautiful, rural drives this one is definitely for you. 
The Green Mountain Scenic Byway is located in east Lake County and west Orange County in                    Central Florida, along the western and southern shores of Lake Apopka. If you have the opportunity                    to take the drive midweek, in early morning or evening that would be best, especially if you want to                 pull over and capture a couple of photos. The buzz is that it’s a hotspot for Sunday drivers.
Sugarloaf  – Florida’s scenic mountain
Sugarloaf Mountain is the highest point in peninsular Florida at 312 feet above sea level, and the                    views are amazing! I drove up the mountain, but it’s also very popular with bicyclists — the ones who     REALLY want a challenge.
From the lens of an amateur photographer
I drove through Ferndale and Montverde — both small towns, but oh so charming. I thoroughly                  enjoyed photographing such a scenic drive (I snapped over 100 pictures). I’m sharing a few of them                 here to entice you to checkout the byway for yourself.
 Cutest post office ever! Plan your visit to the Green Mountain Scenic Byway at GreenMountainByway.org.
 Get out and hit the road!
 Impressive.
 He's #winning! Almost at the top.
 Brave man battling the hill
 Sign says it all
 So retro! I wasn't sure if this was a home or store.
 Nostalgia.
