We visited the national park in late June. We approached the park from L’ans aux Meadows and took this scenic route all the way to Woody Point where we stayed.

It turned out to be a great location to see the Tablelands, one of the highlights in the park. Woody Point is a small heritage community inside the park with nice wooden houses by the fjord.

The park has everything, mountains, waterfalls, fjords, beaches, rugged coastline with sea stacks, heritage communities and wildlife. We stayed two nights and it was too short period to cover it all.

We did three hikes in the park, all very different. The hike to tablelands is a must, a walk on the earth mantle. Interesting and rare landscape. You should do an off-trail hike to really enjoy this bizarre and beautiful landscape. Hiking boots are needed. The Green Garden route trail takes you down to rugged coastline with sea stacks. The last hike was up to a lookup point with magnificent views of the fjords and tablelands, well worth the effort to get up. We wanted to hike up Gros Morne mountain, but it was still winter closed until the next day.

We had great lobster dinner at a seafood restaurant in Trout River while enjoying  the most beautiful sunset on our trip. On our way back to Woody Point, the full moon was shining on the fjord - really amazing.

The Unesco plaque is located at the visitor center in Rocky point. We missed the mandatory boat tour at Western Brook Pound. It was sold out for the day, so must be bought in advance.

In Woody Point we found a great little café, with glutenfree sandwich and a great latte. At night local musicians had a private jam session here. Very cool!
