Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland and Labrador

You can hike the amazing landscape along the earth’s mantle, or climb to life-changing summits. Travel along the water through fjords carved by glaciers millennia ago, leaving behind towering cliffs and thunderous waterfalls. Alongside the natural wonders are highlights of a cultural heritage rich in humour and creativity – festivals, music, art – found throughout the park in towns like Cow Head and Woody Point.

Areas of unusual and inspirational beauty often lure artists and writers, and Gros Morne National Park is no exception. Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador has its own summer-long festival, which puts on professional, culturally rich performances at Cow Head and other communities throughout the area. The town of Woody Point is an especially beautiful artistic hub within the park, and its historic Heritage Theatre offers live music, plays, author readings, and more. The eclectic Writers at Woody Point festival sells out every year, as people flock to meet and hear writers and musicians from around the world. Trails, Tales & Tunes takes place each spring in Norris Point. There are daytime walks around stunning scenery, afternoon workshops, and a wide range of entertainment and great food
