Hike by prufock

Went back to Gros Morne this summer for my vacation. This time around, I actually hiked up the mountain, camped overnight in Ferry Gulch, and hiked down the next day. A 16 km hike, 800 m elevation. Saw several moose at the campground and caribou right on the summit. It’s a tough climb, but it’s something I can always look back and say “I’ve done that.”

Definitely worth it.

Cousin and his family heading over this month by Debbi

I may not be getting to Nfld. this summer but my cousin and his family are travelling from Cape Breton this month. I know full well that upon their arrival home I’ll get a phone call and he’ll fill me in on the trip.

What I need to do is plan ahead, say,“I’m doing this come hell or high water”, and just do it!

Even on brilliantly sunny days there's something about the stark mountains, lonely fjords cut off from the ocean, and miles of tangled spruce forest that can trigger mild melancholia. Gros Morne National Park is one of Canada's true treasures, and few who visit here fail to come away awed. In fact, it's been officially designated as one of the world's treasures. In 1987, the park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which in large part reflected the importance of an area called the Tablelands. This geological quirk formed eons ago, when a portion of the earth's mantle broke loose during the continental drift and was forced to the surface, creating an eerie, rust-colored tableau.
