Rocky Harbor, Newfoundland

This morning we pulled out of Botwood to travel to the west coast of Newfoundland. Our destination was the small town of Rocky Harbor and Gros Morne National Park. Our drive took us through some rugged and hilly country. Although it was intermittently rainy and foggy, the drive was beautiful. We passed some enormous lakes and large rivers. Newfoundland has more fresh water (lakes and rivers) than any of the other provinces.

While here in Rocky Harbor we will be exploring Gros Morne National Park. This National park is known for its landscapes of mountains, fjords and scenic coastlines.
We look forward to seeing the park. Apparently the park is also home to lots of moose and caribou. We have yet to see any Newfoundland moose and we are beginning to think they are a myth! We shall see.

Our campground has Wi-Fi so we will be in touch for the next few days.

Tonight’s sunset was pretty.
