One of the major attractions of the region is Gros Morne National Park. It is divided into two parts by Bonne Bay. We left Deer Lake and drove a fairly short distance into the Southern section of the Park. There is a Discovery Centre at Woody Point, where we were going to spend the night. After taking a good look around and seeking advice on a good walking trail we carried on to the Green Garden Trail, a longish hike out to the coast. Newfoundland is known for having a wet climate and today it certainly was damp. Undeterred we did the walk of about 9 km.

One feature of the area are the Tablelands, flat top mountains with an orange-yellow moonscape appearance. The clouds didn't allow the full beauty to be revealed to us.
