Gros Morne

Canada / Newfoundland and Labrador / Deer Lake /
 mountain, nature conservation park / area, UNESCO World Heritage Site, national park
Situated on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland, the park provides a rare example of the process of continental drift, where deep ocean crust and the rocks of the earth's mantle lie exposed. More recent glacial action has resulted in some spectacular scenery, with coastal lowland, alpine plateau, fjords, glacial valleys, sheer cliffs, waterfalls and many pristine lakes.

  • Gross Morne Translates to Big Mountain From French to English. It is a stunning anomaly in the landscape that is relatively of lower lying mountainous terrain. A must do hiking adventure for all visitors,with guides to ensure you make your way to the top..and back!You do not have to be a mountain climber,as it can be done by most anyone with normal physical abilities. GO AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW!!
  • Careful for moose that sit in the middle of the road, you could be waiting there for hours before it decides to get up and walk away.
