South Gros Morne Park Newfoundland

 
We did another drive around the south end of Gros Morne towards the Tablelands and this section is very barren and is where the plates have shifted on the island and moved the mountains up, pictures not close enough but you can actually see where the land was on its side as it turned into the mountain. On the other side of the mountain, it is all green and bog and trees.  This is an amazing island.

I wish my geology was much better, there is so much information, and we can only take in so much!  Drove through a cloud or two as well which is always kind of neat, back home we call it ‘fog”.  There is a Discovery Centre in this section of the park that is totally amazing; if you ever get to the island and head up through Gros Morne, you have to take this in.



The day we were there was July 1^st and could not figure out why so many people dressed up.  They were having a citizenship swearing in at this location, MP’S, Mounties, Veteran’s – it was really an amazing process they were doing for these new Canadians.  We left before actual ceremony as we had an agenda but glad to see this happening across our great land.
