Atlantic Canada - Gros Morne National Park

Situated on the west coast of Newfoundland, Gros Morne National Park provides a rare example of the process of continental drift, where deep ocean crust and the rocks of the earth's mantle lie exposed. More recent glacial action has resulted in spectacular scenery with fjords, glacial valleys, tall cliffs, waterfalls and many pristine lakes.

The Park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Visitors can hike through wild, uninhabited mountains and explore the coastal areas on unparalleled beauty. Colourful nearby fishing villages complete the phenomenal natural and cultural surroundings of the Gros Morne NP. Norris Point is such a place, located on the north shores of Bonne Bay. It is easily accessible by car.
