Corner Brook, Newfoundland–part 2

On one of my day trips I enjoyed a great scenic drive and a couple of great hikes.

The first hike I went on is called The Gravels.  This area is the sand isthumus that connects the island of Newfoundland to the Port-au-Port Peninsula.  The trail starts on the isthumus and then continues along the coast.  It is known for it’s great scenery and fossils.

 

The trail ends at some type of quarry, so I turned around and enjoyed the trail for a second time on the way back!

Another great coastal trail!!

I also went to Sheaves Cove, which has a short trail to a waterfall and more scenic, rocky coast.  I had read that this is privately owned and they just enjoy letting others visit.

A view from the parking lot looking over the valley and in the distance the waterfall.

 

 

A creek (or river) runs down the rocks and into the ocean.  

From Corner Brook, I headed to Doyles, NL which will be my last stop in Newfoundland.  It was also the first place I stopped when I got here in June.
