The Tablelands

Norris Point, our home for the last three nights is surrounded by impressive mountains including , the famed Tablelands of Gros Morne. Today we hiked up to the Partidge Lookout which featured a forest floor of bunchberry and pitcher plants not to mention great views of Bonnie Bay. Later in the afternoon, we sramble half way up the Tablelands to get a sense of the unique rock that came from 30 km beneath the earth’s surface. Hiking in Gros Morne is one big real life slice of geology 101.It is impossible to be here without been awed by the powers of glaciers and earth plates craming into one another.
