Take a hike in Torngat Mountains National Park
Marvel at the gorgeous fjords, landscapes ablaze with autumn colours, and wonderful wildlife sighting opportunities, including the possibility of both polar and black bears.
Travel to one of the least-visited coastlines in the country—the Torngats are simply unbeatable!
Some of the tallest mountains in Canada east of the Rockies form the backdrop to this national park, the only one initiated and staffed entirely by Inuit.

Hike the spectacular Tablelands at Gros Morne National Park
Revel in the spectacular geology at Gros Morne National Park, where the Earth’s mantle actually protrudes through the crust to form the unique mountainous formations of the Tablelands.
Learn the unique natural history of Gros Morne from experienced naturalists and see the desert-like landscape dominated by peridotite, where few things can grow.
