I came to Newfoundland 28 years ago to dayhike and backpack Gros Morne NP for two weeks. I've been hiking for 50plus years and have wandered most East Coast and Western National Parks and have been to Alaska three times. Well Gros Morne blew me away: The most spectacular coastal hiking and scenery on the entire Eastern Seaboard of the US and CA that you can reasonably reach by vehicle. 4, 000 footers coming right down to the sea and the other worldly Tablelands which cause this place to be called "the Galapagos of Geology."

During a rainy period I decided to head up to the Native American(First Nations) site at Port aux Choix National Park, which blew me away as Native Americans had visited there to hunt seals and other creatures for over 6, 000 years. Amazing that one site could be used for that length of time. Then I continued on up to Lanse aux Meadows NP, which is the only confirmed Viking site in the Western Hemisphere beyond Greenland. Also amazing. The scenery and people grabbed my heart and I bought a little antique house on the water and have returned every year for the last 27 years and still it takes my breath away.

We left N L when I was around 14 years old, lived in the Gander area and Never knew the beauty of the island . Thanks for showing me this.

The Lookoff trail that starts behind the Discovery Centre in Woody Point is also well worth doing. It is about 5.8 km long and with breaks takes a reasonably fit hiker about 2 hours. Gives a fantastic view on the Table lands and the fjords around it.

I traveled from USA to Western Newfoundland and part of Labrador two years ago as a single 69 years woman. Two weeks seemed like two days. I did a lot of hiking, stopped in many beautiful places. In Woody Point I had the best lobster roll and veggie turkey soup after hiking. A cruise on West Brook Pond was awesome.
Great information.

Extremely informative. Thank you. We’re going this year and this video will help.

Nicely done. Thank you for posting. My wife and I have enjoyed vacationing in Banff, Yoho and Jasper, and several years ago we drove along the St. Lawrence graben past Rimouski. Gros Morne is another place to look forward to.

Hi. May we know the name or link to of the airbnb that you stayed in a Woody Point? Also would you know if the the Gross Morne Mountain Trail the same as the Western Brook Pond Day Hike that also takes you to the mountain top view overlooking Western Brook Pond? Thank you.

Hi, for the Western brook pond boat tour, shall I choose morning or afternoon due to the sunshine?

So, Gros Morne Mountain Trail is how difficult?
