HIKING CALLERY GORGE, FRANZ JOSEF GLACIER. NZ
Franz Josef, New Zealand - NOT the glacier
Franz Josef, New Zealand is known for it's glacier. And that glacier is pretty amazing but there is more to Franz Josef.
There are tons of bush walks around the town. Some are near the glacier and you can view the glacier while on the trail, but there are others like the Callery Gorge walk I did that is on the other side of town.
You can also warm up in the Hot Pools or view Kiwis at the Wildlife Centre. And like most tourist location in New Zealand, you can skydive. The Franz Josef Skydive is the highest in New Zealand at 19000 ft (I only did the 16000 ft) so if you want to go big, go in Franz Josef.
Much love and happy travels

Franz Josef Part Two
A 27km drive from Franz Josef will take you to the small coastal settlement of Okarito. Set on a sandspit snug beneath the Southern Alps.
Okarito Lagoon is the largest 'unmodified' estuary lagoon in New Zealand. It's a 2340ha lagoon, which makes it the ideal home to more than 76 types of bird species and thousands of wading birds.
We took on the Trig Walk which offered us spectacular views over the estuary and beyond.
Back at Franz Josef village, we found the start of the Callery Gorge Walk and Tatare Tunnels Track.

Franz Joesf Bridge Crossing
In New Zealand, at the Westland Tai Poutini National Park on the trail which leads to the overview of the Franz Joesf Glacier, there are several suspension type walk bridges. Each limits the number of people on the bridge.
This first one called the Douglas Bridge on the Callery-Waiho walk,has a maximum of 5 people.
Took video as I was crossing and the brige was swaying.

Franz Josef Valley is a beautiful walk. I saw green trees and snow. Also, the other walk, Peter's Pool is nearby, which is a good, pretty and easy walk. High recommend :)
