Gros Morne National Park

The road into Gros Morne gave us beautiful scenery but monstrous hills. There is one hill near the southern border of the park that is a very long haul. In fact afterwords the transmission in the truck seemed to be sluggish in going from first to second gear. Not good!

Looking down the road from the front of our site


Cow Parsnip - grows everywhere along the road!


Pitcher Plant - the Provincial flower of NFLD


Bog Laurel


Bakeapple Plant
The above three plants were found along the trail into Western Brook Pond.


After a 3 km trek over boardwalk and trail, we made it to Western Brook Pond, a gigantic glacier-carved fjord with sides 2000 feet high. It made the 6 km round trip walk worthwhile.




Fish fence in Western Brook funnels the salmon into the counting cage where they are counted and then released into the stram above the fence.





Finally, we spot our first moose just outside of Rocky Harbour - a nice bull!
