This is our third visit to Sax-Zim Bog. My brother and I partially paid for our trip with our savings and my father drove us. It is about an 8 hour drive from our home in Chicago. Sax-Zim has soooo much amazing wildlife. Below are links to the posts form our adventure. Here are links to our other trips to Sax Zim Bog in 2025 and 2024.
