Gros Morne Hiking Delights

June 15th 2008

The hiking in Gros Morne National Park is spectacular.  Gros Morne mountain  is a magnet  for those in good shape who can handle the 12 hour day trip. Keen for some backcountry?  Take the  3 day  off -piste traverse from  the dock of Western Pond Inlet to Gros Morne Mountain. Our family enjoyed the lookout up Partidge  Hill as well as a scramble up the famed UNESCO Table lands.

The Tablelands

June 15th 2008

Norris Point, our home for the last three nights is surrounded by impressive mountains including , the famed Tablelands of Gros Morne. Today we hiked up to the Partidge Lookout which featured a forest floor of bunchberry and pitcher plants not to mention great views of Bonnie Bay. Later in the afternoon, we sramble half way up the Tablelands to get a sense of the unique rock that came from 30 km beneath the earth’s surface. Hiking in Gros Morne is one big real life slice of geology 101.It is impossible to be here without been awed by the powers of glaciers and earth plates craming into one another.
