Today was the Western Brook Pond boat tour. The Western Brook Pond is a glacier carved land-locked fjord. From the parking lot it is a 3 km walk to the boat dock.

The trail is fairly easy.

A lot of wildflowers along the way.

It crosses bogs.

And small rivers.

A map at the dock. The highway is the line on the left and the dot on the left edge of the pond is the dock. The tour travels all the way to the narrow end.

A graphic for those tourists who are familiar with the CN Tower.

The tour was 2 hours in length.

Entering the fjord.

The weather was perfect, we did the 10:00 am tour.

It just rises out of the water.

All kinds of cameras on board.

The view heading into the fjord.

One of the many waterfalls.

I have been looking forward to this since we first decided to go to Gros Morne and it didn’t disappoint.

The remnants of a rock slide in 1994 that occurred while a boat tour was out on the water.

Another waterfall high up.

Looking back from where we came.

The boat was turning so everyone could see the waterfalls.

Getting close to the tip.

A small dock, if you have a hiking permit, they will drop you off and you can start the long traverse hike from there.

Heading back.

The girls.

This tour was great, definitely a must do if you are ever in Gros Morne.

The girls on the red chairs. Parks Canada has placed 18 sets of red muskoka chairs around Gros Morne to celebrate the 40th birthday of the park.

A nice view of the Western Brook Pond.

We stopped for lunch at the site of the S.S. Ethie shipwreck site.

The steamship went down December 11th, 1919. All 92 passengers on board survived.

The girls have been having a great time.

We played a game of knock the rocks off the log.

Found this sea sac stuck to one of the rocks.

On the way back to the cottage we found another set of red chairs that Susan had spotted the day before.

This will probably beome our new blog photo.

The end to another day in Gros Morne.
