Newfoundland Travel Blog - Hiking

Many of us spend years "chasing the dream" in our 9 to 5 jobs. This was certainly the case for me but, after my retirement, I saw that life had more possibilities than previously imagined. As a lover of nature and owner of a small vacation rental in Pouch Cove, I often explore the outdoors, take photos, and share my experiences with guests in order to help them plan their vacation. This is my photo collection from my East Coast Trail hiking experiences. #eastcoasttrail, #hiking, #newfoundland

You can enjoy panoramic views of the open sea as you stand atop this cliff on Newfoundland's east coast trail.

Hike the trails and learn about the history of the area. This landmark is "Horrid Gulch" and is found along the Biscan Cove Path in Pouch Cove. It has a sad history as it is the location of the Waterwitch naval disaster of 1875. #gulch, #mountain, #tree, #cliff, #coast, #pouchcove, #oceanview

Be sure to enjoy your away from it all hiking experience and to take the opportunity to save your precious memories in photographs. A word of caution, however: Hiking should be a planned adventure and is always best done with a partner. Proper clothing, footwear, and snacks are recommended.
