Day Hike Along the Lower Bowl Route in the Tablelands

Explore the remarkable Tablelands and its terrain on a day hike on the Lower Bowl Route in the Gros Morne National Park! Trek through Canada’s easternmost province and feel the rare thrill of a remote destination with unparalleled views!

The Tablelands are an area of the Earth’s exposed mantle that shot to the surface from plate collision. This has in turn created a visual masterpiece of outcropping and geoformations, with orange-colored rocks throughout the Gros Morne National Park. This is one of the many reasons why the province of Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the most incredible landscapes in Canada.

A trek through the Tablelands encapsulates the Canadian wilderness, from varied flora and fauna to the incomparable views of the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The rugged terrain gives you a hands-on experience with natural history. This enhances your adventure and gives you an appreciation for the lush plant life that thrives in this region.

Your program places you front and center in this awe-inspiring country. For the Lower Bowl Route, you will take a two- to three-hour hike halfway up the Tablelands. Along the way, you pass striking waterfalls beckoning you to stop and admire. Looking out over Bonne Bay, you will have ample opportunity to take pictures and cement this incredible moment forever in time.

We will begin at the trailhead of the Tablelands Trail. Our course allows us to give in to the tempting aesthetics of the bridges and waterfalls of our route. Enjoy a short hike that does not involve significant elevation changes (250 meters) or distances (three kilometers).

We will reach nearly half-way up the Tablelands, celebrate our accomplishment, and then return to the trailhead. While the hike is not particularly long, it does offer plenty of opportunities for great memories that will remain with you long after you leave Newfoundland.

This hike is for anyone looking for a shorter trip into the Tablelands. The rugged terrain requires focus and care, but everyone is welcome to join this program.

This area is considered a Canadian gem. We love showing hikers a fun, safe, and enriching experience in a landscape that is so near and dear to our hearts.
