Gros Morne Park, day 2

Friday, July 3.
From the cottage, we went to Western Brook Pond, a bit to the north along the Gulf side, for a boat excursion.  We needed to walk 3 km before we could get to the boat dock because the once fjord now is actually a fresh water lake (much too large to be a pond but that's what they call it). 

It is a 2 hour tour between glacier sculpted rocks.  The view is extraordinary with many mountain waterfalls on either side.





On our walk back to the car we could see Pitcher plants - Newfoundland's provincial flower.


 On our return trip we stopped at Woody Point, still inside Gros Morne National Park.  We had a late lunch in this tiny fishing village.  It has the park's interpretive centre and from the outside deck, I took these 3 shots, to my left, straight ahead, and to the right.
