A land with thousands of miles of coastline, endless forest, and ancient mountains. Western Newfoundland runs from Port aux Basques to the top of the Great Northern Peninsula. With a 1.25-billion-year-old geological history as old as the planet and a human history going back 4,500 years. Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers more than 65 kilometres of mountain hiking.
From leisurely strolls to challenging treks through rock formations that came from the centre of the earth. Climb Gros Morne itself and view the spectacular landscape of mountains and fjords carved by glaciers and formed by tectonic upheaval. A National Historic Site at Port au Choix introduces the intriguing prehistory of the province and the Maritime Archaic people with their elaborate burial rituals, and the Dorset Eskimos with their uniquely tiny tools. At L'Anse aux Meadows, you'll come across the grassy field where the Norse first settled the New World. It's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Parks Canada has reconstructed a Viking village. Experience life five centuries before Columbus. Come share the great pride Newfoundlanders take in their history and embrace the down-home friendliness of our west coast.
