Adventures in the outdoors
This summer after our wonderful trip to Iceland, we decided to head to the west coast of Newfoundland and visit Gros Morne and surrounding areas. The goal was to hike Gros Morne mountain, again.

Our main question was whether we would drive clockwise or counter-clockwise. Keep reading to find out!
