Newfoundland - Day 12

We extended our stay at Rocky Harbour by one day to allow us this last day for exploring Gros Morne National Park. We went on another boat tour of Western Brook Pond. It was a dull day, so pictures are kind of dark, but beautiful nonetheless.Tomorrow we head back to St. John’s, so a travel day of about 8-9 hours. Then we fly back home.

Our little boat on the left.  
Just in case Lori sat down below but the lake
was calm so no upset tummies on this trip. 

The clouds and gloomy weather made for a dramatic setting

This group rode with us till the far end of the lake.
Then they departed for a few days in the wilderness.
All they had is what they could carry.
Brave souls and all very young. 

Newfoundland - Day 11

Today we drove to the Lookout Hill Trail, which was about 5.8kms, 2.8kms felt like it was straight up, coming down was so much easier. The views overlooked Gros Morne National Park and they were amazing!! We then went on a 4km hike of the Tablelands. The scenery was completely different than our first hike. One more day in Rocky Harbour, then back to St. John’s for the trip home.

Lori finds a friend.  Actually there were 2 Newfoundland dogs 
and they filled up the back seat. 

The view from the top of Lookout Hill trail. 

This mountain range is called Tablelands.
It is actually the earths crust which was pushed
up to the surface a few million years ago. 
Nothing grows here.  

 Next up our last day at Gros Morne National Park

Newfoundland - Day 10

As I continue the slog through my pictures from our trip to Newfoundland my pictures from Snowbird Trip #8 continue to pileup.  Will try to make a concerted effort the next few weeks to get caught up.

Day 10 was a series of hikes at Gros Morne national park followed by a great sunset.

Scavengers

Remains of a ship wreck from 1919.

Looks like a toilet seat from the ship wreck.

 

That's it for today.
