Day 26: Gros Morne Hike

Day 26: Gros Morne hike, Gros Morne National Park, NL
Fri 5 July 2024
Distance hiked: 17.98km

Hiked up Gros Morne today. Great views of the fjords and ponds and Tablelands and forest; light winds kept the bugs away and not even a sprinkle.

Afterwards, headed down to the waterfront for a beer with Gary and Sheldon.
