good tip - but no rapids here. 🙂

You can book Cape Chignecto from mid-May to October. I loved hiking here in early September.

Great goal!

Sorry for the delay -- how did it go?? I'm glad you found my guide helpful!!

@@outandacross It was amazing, I still have not stopped talking about it to anyone who will listen… lol. I want to get a video put together to post but it’s been such a busy summer. Just got back from a kayaking trip to Keji yesterday but I’ll be putting things together soon. We took a day longer than we planned as I had a reaction on day 1, where I just blew up (like retaining fluid in my face and ankles) and overheating. Gorgeous view at the end of the day and we camped there overnight. 🌄Day 2, we ran into Tropical Storm Debby that dumped 100ml of rain on us making what would be easy water jumps to fast flowing water crossings coming off the hills. Ended up at Marks Pond that night and then being flooded out… 🤪 Finally day 3, and 4 I got my stride, both gorgeous days and stayed at Hardings Pond and Green Island Pond. Started day 5 with a water crossing to our hips with a cold foggy day ahead of us. Made it to Ferry Gulch and stayed to night to get warm. Low single digits that night. 🥶. Climbed Gros Morne on Day 6 with beautiful clear 360 views at the top. We made our way out by mid afternoon to catch the ferry that night back to NS. Now that I’ve recouped from the swelling in my legs and face…. We are planing our next epic trip!

Absolutely - it's a good one!

thank you! I've got some videos in the works 🙂

yes, it's an out and back route - no trail. We dropped our packs and made our way to the lookout. We left a pin when we dropped packs and returned to the same location, then continued on to Green Island Pond. Hope that helps!

There's a FB group called "HIKING IN NEWFOUNDLAND/LABRADOR (HIKE NL)" where I posted and found others who were interested. Good place to start!

Hey there! We hiked the LRT in August 2022. Western Brook Pond is very worthwhile and hiking to the top of the fjord is a good option if you'd rather not do the full LRT. You might find a sunny (or at least not rainy) day in May to enjoy the fjord. Good luck - cheers!

right! I looked it up after the trip. Very cool how they fake their injury to lure predators away!

Thanks for your comment. Definitely lots of hikers using the WCT. I'd call it a "social" hiking trail where you cross paths with others fairly often (pros and cons, depending on your preferences). Overall, a great place and one best hikes in Canada!

That's great -- It's a fantastic route!

thanks! Happy to share. Our first day was the longest (about 9 hours) but our third day wasn't far behind (8 hours - with a side trip). We weren't breaking any records and it's definitely possible to go quicker than we did. Some more details here: outandacross.com/long-range-traverse-hike-gros-morne/

Glad you enjoyed Keji’s southern lakes - such an awesome spot. Hope you get back again soon!

Hope you found it helpful!

Hey there! No bear lockers. I hung my food in a tree.

Thanks! Glad you found this useful. I hope you have a great trip in August!

Hey Kirk, I typically carry at least 2-litres in my bladder bag. That was more than enough for me (and I drink a lot). We crossed a few streams through the forest portion, and each campsite has easy access to fresh water streams. Recommend filtering before use. I'll include these details in the how-to guide coming soon. 🙂

It was a pretty fun group!! And that's awesome. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions about the hike.

thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the adventure 😀

Western Brook Pond is such a beautiful area. And the LRT has gotta be one of the best treks in Canada. Happy to share!

Thanks for subscribing! I love Newfoundland and glad you enjoyed my Rockcut Trails video -- definitely worth checking out. Happy hiking!

What a nice message! I appreciate that a lot. Glad you enjoyed the video and great to hear that you had a good time on the East Coast. I’ve been happy to share inspiration with Shirley (she’s got exciting adventures on the go, too!). Thanks, again!

Hey Adam, we paddled early June and it was perfect. You can check flow rate here: rivers.alberta.ca/. We had about 17 m³/s

Awesome! Thanks for the comment. And I lived in Calgary for 6 years 🙂Glad you found this video helpful! Did you check out my LRT guide? outandacross.com/long-range-traverse-guide-newfoundland/ Everything you need to know to get started!

​@@outandacross I sure did. Excellent. ​

Nice to hear from you! Thanks brother! Twillingate is an incredible place.

thanks, Shirley! Glad you enjoyed the video. Such an incredible place -- I hope you get to experience one day.

Thank you! Cheers!

Absolutely - fond memories!

Thanks so much! What a fantastic route.

It was such a fun trip! I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

@@outandacross was it busy when you went? We are looking at doing an adventure out that way soon and looking for places to go.

@@Tents.and.Timber It was very quiet for us. We only crossed paths with a handful of other paddlers. Peskawa Lake can be especially quiet, as there are quite a few portages required to reach those campsites. Totally worthwhile trip!

Thanks!!

Absolutely - couldn't agree more!

Yes, it's some of the best canoeing I've done in Canada. Just lovely!

Thanks! Great trip.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad to hear you got out and had a great time. I love that river and would really like to go back again, too!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
