Reviewed By 319janise - York Harbour, Canada

I see Blow me Down mountain from my window every day. It is also a great place to hike and get an unbelievable view of Corner Brook, Woods Island, Governors Island, Lark Harbour, York Harbour, the North Arm. It is a challenging hike but not too strenuous. And worth the effort!

Fantastic trail to see the amazing beauty of the Newfoundland coast and diversity of landscape. Did it with a 12 year old and it was totally fine. Great vistas - with whales traveling the coast. You can pop onto the trail at different spots so make sure you know where you are when you enter - if you don't go from the parking lot!

Gigantic spot for a picnic, a “budol fight” will be funtastic for an 8.1Kilometers "tukad-baba, baba-tukad." Worth the trail that will test your agility, endurance and mobility that equates to its easy, moderate and kind of difficult terrain for those who are not use to trudge long distances. Took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to reach this highlight through different grade of pathways, starting from unpaved road, muddy and stone trail, into the woods, longitudinal boardwalks to stair made of logs, etc. In total, 5 hours back and forth which includes taking a deep breath, a break and at least 3 “viewpoints.” Sweat and perspire a lot under a sultry sun, cooling off under the canopies of spruce. Tasting wild blueberries on the way was such a leisurely treat. Lucky to have the boat on the spot with bunches of people touring the rugged coastline and estuaries.

Had a fantastic time learning the history of the mine and of the business of mining, our guide Bonnie was amazing and brought the tour to life and as a bonus she has the voice of an angel singing a song for us about mining. The whole island was a highlite of our trip

North Head Trail

An exhilarating hike featuring rugged coastal beauty, striking views, and historic sites. This challenging trail built by Parks Canada descends 500 ft and includes a narrow coastal path along the Narrows. Caution: This trail is not maintained by the Grand Concourse Authority. Steep cliffs and hazardous sections are common throughout and caution should be exercised at all times.

Gros Morne Mountain (James Callaghan) Trail

Reviewed By 908Laura - San Francisco, United States

My husband and I hiked this trail a few days ago to ascend to the summit of Gros Morne Mountain, the second highest peak in Newfoundland. and it was an awesome experience! The official guide claims that the entire trail measures 9.6 miles, but my GPS tracking recorded a half marathon. The trail definitely calls for a pair of good hiking boots with good ankle support. The most grueling was the 500 meter ascend from the base via a scree filled gully. In addition to the loose rocks, there was also a stretch of snow on the way. From below we could not really see the mountain top since it was shrouded in clouds. Park rangers in general recommend caution when clouds hide the top. We pressed on anyway, fully aware that we may not be able to see far from the top if the cloud persisted. It took us about an hour to cover the steep climbing along the gully. 3 and half hours after we set off at the trail head, we reached the summit at about 2,900 feet. Part of the mountain range was covered by the cloud, however, a bit below the summit and on our way hiking down, we were rewarded with a spectacular view of the Ten Mile Brook Pond (see my photos). It took us a bit over 7 hours to complete the hike including picture stops along the way. We were not sure whether this trail would be doable for a 12 year old prior to our hiking, due to the concerns over the gravel gully. Having completed it, I think it would totally be doable. This is a must-do in my opinion if you are visiting Gros Morne National Park.
