About Gros Morne

Gros Morne National Park is one of Canada’s most extraordinary natural treasures—an awe-inspiring landscape where ancient mountains meet rugged coastline. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park showcases dramatic fjords carved by glaciers, sweeping beaches, dense boreal forests, and the otherworldly Tablelands, one of the few places on Earth where the Earth’s mantle is exposed at the surface.

Visitors can hike world-class trails like Gros Morne Mountain, ascend cliffs overlooking Western Brook Pond, paddle tranquil coves, or wander coastal paths rich with wildlife, wildflowers, and stunning ocean vistas. Beyond the scenery, the park is alive with culture: charming fishing communities, local music, storytelling, and a warm Newfoundland welcome at every turn. Whether you're seeking adventure, photography, geology, wildlife encounters, or peaceful seaside moments, Gros Morne National Park offers an unforgettable experience for every type of traveler.
