What Not To Wear

Luggage and bags: A day pack is useful. You can fill it with a drink bottle and some snacks if you want, especially when it's a long trip.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: 3-4 layers of warm upper body clothing, sunglasses and sun protection. For colder months, bring warm hat & gloves.

Avoid JEANS...they are not recommended on wet days as they become very cold and uncomfortable to wear!!

Photo Equipment: Bring your camera & lots of film or a digital camera.

 Although it is much smaller than the town of Franz Josef, Fox was tons of fun. I was only there 2 nights (that was plenty), but on the second night, everyone I had met in town was at the same bar!
