Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland

Part of the towering Long Range Mountains, the geological wonder that is Gros Morne National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site stretching across 1,805 square kilometres in western Newfoundland. The second-largest National Park in eastern Canada and the very spot where geologists proved the theory of plate tectonics, it’s filled with breathtaking landscapes; think Newfoundland’s second-highest peak at 2,622 feet, the highest waterfall in eastern North America, a freshwater fjord sheltered by majestic cliffs, and plenty of coastal pathways, sea stacks and sandy beaches. Must-dos here include hitting the hiking trails that wind throughout the landscape, explore the park’s dense forests for rare plant, animal and bird species, and taking a boat tour on Western Brook Pond – the park’s largest glacially-carved fjord that’s home to Atlantic salmon, brook trout, Arctic char, and an unusual colony of cliff nesting gulls.

Get the shot: For dynamic images of Western Brook Pond, the Western Brook Pond Boat Tour is a two-hour cruise that takes in the glacier-carved land-locked fjord, billion year-old cliffs, waterfalls cascading from 2,000 feet, and a fair few wildlife sightings.
