Meyer told Insider that Cumberland Island reminds him of a scene from "Jurassic Park."
"The ferns are so huge that you feel like a velociraptor could just jump out at any moment," he said.
For beginner hikers, Meyer recommends Cumberland's South End Loop, a mix of paved roads, trails, and boardwalks. It runs for 4.3 miles from the island's main dock, where visitors arrive by boat, through the central section of the island past forested areas, beaches, and the ruins of a 19th-century mansion, according to the National Park Service (NPS).
"It's everything that the island has to offer all in one trail," Meyer said. He added that the trail is "super flat."
