Day 5: Another Day in Gros Morne National Park

The two great attractions in the Park are Gros Morne Mountain and a boat trip on Western Brook Pond.

Gros Morne Mountain at 2,644 feet

The former challenge was probably too much for us to contemplate so we settled for the boat trip. This involves a short drive to a car park on the main road and a 2 mile walking trail to the dock at the end of Western Brook Pond. This is an inland fjord left behind after the Ice Age. It provides a two and a half hour trip up and down the fjord. The walls of the fjord are over 2,000 feet high.

Depending on how many people sign up there is a choice of boats, today we were on the larger vessel.
