Eastern Canada, Here we Come – Rocky Harbour and Gros Morne, Newfoundland -2025- Part 4

Gros Morne National Park is pretty impressive. Last time we were here, we did a lot of hiking but this time, there were so many people on the trails and it was hard to get a parking spot. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Park covers 1,805 square kilometres.

  • Tablelands parking lot
  • Visitor Centre
  • Inside the Visitor Centre
  • Want to make a moose call? Here’s how….
  • Gros Morne landscape

We also drove to Trout River and stopped at a museum there, very small and yet very interesting. Trout River is not very big and it is situated inside Gros Morne Park.

Another spot we went to was Woody Point and what a cute little place this was! It’s also one of 7 communities located in the Park.

  • Main street
  • Merchant Warehouse and Retro Cafe
  • I love the old style, which I grew up with
  • We had a table and chair set like that except the chairs were grey
  • Restaurant out back
  • Galliott Studios and Cafe
  • View from the deck of the Galliott Studios

Next stop Baie Verte, 220 kms North !

    1. The trails are beautiful, the landscape in this part of Newfoundland is gorgeous and the trails are all unique. The little villages are so cute, they are almost self contained and so far from any populated areas.

      1. It really sounds magical, that mix of dramatic trails and those remote, close-knit villages is exactly my kind of travel 😊 Gros Morne National Park feels like one of those places that truly lets you slow down and soak everything in. You described it beautifully!

  3. Gros Morne is so picturesque and I love not only the scenery but all the colorful houses and shops on Main Street and those big boats sitting out. Thank goodness you had sunny weather to take these pictures since everything was so colorful. I liked the list of sayings and superstitions … I only knew “stuffed to the gills” and “gift of gab” which I’ve used before.

    1. I have always had an interest in knowing where sayings come from, like “don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater” I like to look up how they came to be. Gros Morne is beautiful and we have been there twice now and I don’t get tired of the landscape or the trails.

      1. You would have liked Evan Morris who had a website called “The Word Detective”. He would delve into any expression and trace its origins and write about it. My boss liked collecting expressions and using them in his everyday speech as well as correspondence and so I got him a subscription to a newsletter. I used to go onto his website all the time as he indexed his findings and there were many. He passed away awhile ago and someone took over for him, but stopped. Evan Morris’ “Word Detective” was compiled into books as well.
