We drove around the park today and finally saw our first moose!  He was right  by the road.  Spend some time  there watching him and taking pictures.  We can tell it is a "him" because of the horns.  Girl moose do not have  horns.

Adults:

Gros Mourne National Park is in two parts, separated by Bonne Bay. The larger part is to the north of the bay, the smaller section is south of the bay. Today we traveled to the southern part of the park.

At every turn in the road in this park you come across a different kind of rock, it is astounding that each cove is different from the one just a few miles down the road. Even with the haze and threat of rain all day, in the pictures you can see the different layers of rock, the different plateaus. So, we wandered from look out to look out and cove to cove to where the road ended where the Trout River meets the Atlantic Ocean.

On our way home, we had the highlight of the day…we finally saw a moose!! A young bull grazing in the brush right next to the road! We sat on the side of the road and watched him eat for a few minutes, then left him to his dinner. Just down the road was a rainbow, a fitting end to our day!

We also learned a cute little joke - Do you know how to tell who the Newfies are in heaven?  They are the only ones  who want to go home!
