Description

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.

Book this day hike along the Lower Bowl Route NOW and experience the pristine nature of the Tablelands and its unique beauty in the Gros Morne National Park of Newfoundland.

Of course, we can also continue up to the top of the Tablelands on the Top of the Bowl Route! Or we can spend nine days familiarizing ourselves with the unequaled beauty of the Gros Morne National Park!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
