| The trail we would take would get us near the base of the mountain on the (middle) left. |
 |
| Tour boats would take you right to the end of the fjord. |
 |
| The trail we took ended at Snug Harbour. Note the warning about the river. |
 |
| The trail was not your average one. |
 |
| Yes, you have to wade the river but there is a rope that you can (sort of) hold on to. The water was cool but refreshing. |
 |
| Carefully placed bare feet on the stones, made for a slow crossing. We both stayed dry. |
 |
| This is the river that flows out of Western Brook Pond |
 |
| Tour boat filled with passengers. They are almost always full during the prime time in the summer. |
 |
| The trail certainly is as well travelled as most. |
 |
| Bunchberries are everwhere |
 |
| Trail opens onto a beach before heading back into the bush. |
 |
| These grew right out of a tree trunk. |
 |
| Getting closer to the base of the mountain. We saw a family of loons here. |
 |
| Made it this far. |
 |
| What a peaceful setting this was. There is a campsite here for those who want to spend a night or two. These usually have to be booked a year ahead. Very popular because it's so remote. |
 |
| I think the expression tells it all. Now we have to make it all the way back. |
 |
| Oh yes, they also warn you about the very muddy sections along the trail. |
 |
| The raspberries take your mind of the treck |
 |
| Some fancy footwork required the keep from getting soaked. |
 |
| Local wildlife. We did see a moose across one of the bays but was a long way off. |
 |
| Yup, you also have to wade the river on the way back. Quite deep with a bit of a current. Good foot work Grace. |
 |
| Both kept dry again. Had to protect camera and cell phone, just in case. |
 |
| Once across the river, the trail makes a dramatic change, since this part is more popular, with crossing the river. |
 |
| A well maintained boardwalk leads through the bog. |
 |
| Nature's art work |
