The Big Lookout trail presents a longer and more demanding alternative to the well-known Lookout trail, promising a rewarding adventure for avid hikers. Plan for a full day excursion, allocating approximately 6 to 8 hours, considering your pace and the breaks you’ll take along the way. Situated within Gros Morne National Park, this hike offers breathtaking vistas from its summit, making the effort well worthwhile. Despite its challenging terrain, this backcountry trail is often overlooked, yet it holds immense beauty and tranquility. It’s one of those hidden gems that we personally adore, offering a unique and unforgettable hiking experience.
The Big Lookout hike earns its challenging rating primarily due to two steep sections along the trail and its overall length. However, it’s important to note that the majority of the hike falls into the moderate category. As you traverse the trail, you’ll find yourself walking through picturesque alpine meadows and peat bogs, which offer a moderate level of difficulty. This variety in terrain not only adds to the adventure but also provides opportunities to appreciate diverse landscapes along the way. So, while the hike may have its tough moments, there are plenty of enjoyable stretches to balance out the challenge.
Ensuring you’re properly equipped for your hike is crucial. Dressing in layers allows you to adjust to changing temperatures, while sturdy hiking boots provide stability and protection. Don’t forget to pack essentials like 2 liters of water, snacks for energy, a daypack to carry your belongings, and hiking poles for added support. Additionally, bring weather-appropriate gear as conditions can shift unexpectedly. Being prepared ensures a safe and enjoyable hiking experience
Our guides frequently encounter a variety of wildlife indigenous to Newfoundland’s highlands and forested regions, including moose, caribou, bears, rock ptarmigans, and more. Additionally, there are opportunities for whale sightings down in the fjord. Keep your eyes peeled during your hike for these incredible creatures and make sure to have your camera ready.
The Lookout Hike is shorter and easier, with moderate terrain and scenic viewpoints, perfect for beginners or leisurely hikers.
The Big Lookout Hike is longer and more challenging, featuring steep ascents and rugged paths, offering expansive panoramic views for experienced and adventurous hikers.
For longer hikes such as the Big Lookout, we usually begin early to make the most of daylight. However, start times may vary based on the day’s weather forecast. It’s best to confirm the start time by checking in with us the day before your hike. Typically, we aim for a 9 AM departure, balancing a fulfilling experience with flexibility for weather adjustments.
Of course! We offer the option of providing hiking lunches for all our organized hikes, or you’re welcome to bring your own. Simply select this option during the online booking process. If you prefer, you can also call us to discuss your preferences and make arrangements for your upcoming adventure
The Big Lookout Hike is not widely advertised as other trails in the area, which contributes to fewer people knowing about it. It’s considered a hidden gem known mainly to experienced hikers or locals familiar with the region. It’s not actively promoted to tourists or casual visitors and its popularity remains limited. Additionally, the trail is challenging to access and to navigate and does not attract as many hikers as trails with better facilities.
