You are all invited to join our group going to the:

Long Range Mountains, Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland

Located on the East End of Western Brook Pond, this map and compass
traverse is the ultimate hiking challenge that Gros Morne National Park
offers, at 35km.  The Western Brook Pond Boat takes hikers along the edge
of the magnificent fjords to a 600m incline, the beginning of the trip.
An alternate route to the boat-ride is available along the North Rim of
Western Brook Pond (an extra 27km).  As this is a very strenuous traverse
backcountry equipment and experience is essential.  A pre-trip orientation
is required by parks people at the Visitor's Center as well as viewing of
the video Backpacking in the Long Range.  Trained Advanced Wilderness
First Aide, CPR, Lifeguard trip members are participating.
