Gros Morne Day 3 - Western Brook Pond Tour

Finally a day here with no rain or fog! We had booked a boat tour of Western Brooke Pond which is a fjord in the Long Range Mountains, the northern most part of the Appalachian Range. The fjord was carved by a glacier and isolated from the sea by crustal rebounding.

Access to the boat tour requires a 3 km hike along a nice wide path. The fjord looks pretty impressive as you approach the boat dock.

We were on the 90 passenger boat and the tour took us up one side and back on the other, about a 30 km trip.

The cliff walls are up to 600 metres high and there are many waterfalls emptying into the pristine lake. Some really nice views.

After our walk back out, we stopped at the Berry Hill Trail for a short steep hike up to a panoramic viewpoint or "look-off" as they call them here.

That's Gros Morne Mountain in the distance. Unfortunately the weather over the last couple of days have prevented us from doing the hike to the top.

It is our last day here so we treated ourselves to a nice supper at Java Jack's. We were greeted by a cute Berner.

We both had their special, Lobster Linguini featuring a whole lobster incorporated in the meal.

This was the first evening where there was a bit of clear sky so I headed down to the harbour to see if I could capture a sunset. It wasn't fantastic but here are a few views.
