Follow the path to Gros Morne National Park’s highest point (806 m). Your efforts will be rewarded by breathtaking views of the Long Range Mountains and the Ten Mile Pond gorge. The more challenging mountain section of the trail starts at the viewing platform. It’s an 8-kilometre loop that takes you up almost 500 metres to the arctic-alpine plateau, then descends as a rough boulder-strewn path through Ferry Gulch. Give yourself 3.5 to 5.5 hours to hike this section of the trail.
Trail notes:
• The mountain (Summit Trail) is closed to hikers in May and June. At this time of year, soils are wet and easily eroded and animals are raising their young.
• Please stay on the trail, both for your safety and to reduce your effect on fragile environments.
• Dogs are strongly discouraged on the mountain—they cause stress for wildlife and the rocky terrain is hard on their paws.
• There is a primitive campsite at Ferry Gulch. Camping permit required. Please register with park staff.
• It is very important to be well-prepared before undertaking this hike.
