Gros Morne National Park

Situated on the west coast of Newfoundland, Gros Morne National Park provides a rare example of the processes of continental drift, where deep ocean crust and the rocks of the earth's mantle lie exposed. Soaring fjords and moody mountains tower high above the diverse panorama of beaches, bogs, forests, and barren cliffs, shaped by colliding continents and  the grinding together of glaciers, Gros Morne's ancient landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering 1,805 square kilometres,

You can hike this unique landscape along the earth's mantle or climb to life-changing summits. Wander coastal pathways, go beachcombing among sea stacks, then cruise the dramatic, sheer-walled gorge of Western Brook Pond. Try to spot moose and caribou or hike to alpine highlands where Arctic hare and ptarmigan thrive on the tundra and explore the colourful culture of nearby seaside communities. Rich in cultural heritage,  humour and creativity, you will discover festivals, music, and art throughout the park in towns with names like Cow Head and Woody Point.
