This unique geological formation is a must-see for visitors to the park, and since we spend so much time hiking on them we wanted to share some of our knowledge with you. In this blog post, we’ll explore why the Tablelands are so special, what you can expect on our Tablelands tours, and answer some common questions about this stunning landscape.
What Makes the Tablelands so Special?
The Tablelands are a unique geological formation that are unlike anything else in the world. The red and orange rock formations that make up the Tablelands were once part of the Earth’s mantle, deep beneath the planet’s crust. They were forced to the surface millions of years ago, creating a barren landscape that is unlike anything else in Gros Morne National Park. The Tablelands are also home to a number of rare and endangered plant species, making it a truly unique ecosystem.

How Long is the Tablelands Hike?

However, our Tablelands off Trail and our Tablelands 360° offer a more efficient way to explore the Tablelands. These shorter options give you plenty of time to experience the landscape without the physical demands of a long hike.
What Do Newfoundland’s Tablelands Consist Of?
The Tablelands are composed of peridotite, a type of rock that is rich in magnesium and low in calcium. This gives the landscape its unique red and orange coloration. The peridotite is also responsible for the barren and rocky terrain, as it does not support the growth of many plant species. However, the Tablelands are home to a number of rare and endangered plant species that have adapted to this unique ecosystem.
