Gros Morne

Gros Morne is the second highest peak on the island of Newfoundland, exceeded only by Lewis Hill (the Cabox). Often capped with clouds, or clothed in fog or snow, the mountain's mystery is reflected in its name: Gros Morne... big lone mountain. Around the summit there are views of a spectacular glacial-carved landscape: the deep fjord arms of Bonne Bay and the U-shaped trough of Ten Mile Pond. Please take care to preserve this beautiful mountain so that those who follow can enjoy it too. (Also - Dogs are not permitted on Gros Morne Mountain because of the disturbance and stress they cause for caribou, Arctic hare and rock ptarmigan.) (Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland, Canada)
