The Big Lookout Hike
The Big Lookout backcountry hike is a spectacular panoramic lookout point located in the southern half of Gros Morne National Park, and just minutes from our shop at the Waters Edge Campground The Big Lookout hike takes approximately 8 hours to complete depending on weather conditions and group dynamics.
We'll follow an old unmarked community fire watch trail where we climb steadily through forest, emerging from the trees onto a highland plateau. From there, your guide will lead you over the exposed barren tundra to the summit of the Lookout Hills. Once we reach the summit, we'll sit back and enjoy the amazing views overlook Bonne Bay, the Long Range Mountains and the Tablelands while your guide recreates the 500 million year old story of Gros Morne National Park.
