Day 4, 3rd day of Long Range Traverse in Gros Morne National Park

 Lower Green Island Pond to Gros Morne mountain parking lot.

A chilly morning so the first challenge of crossing icy cold river not an inviting activity!  Start out  rock hopping across river but rocks ended and  could not avoid going thigh deep in a the fast cold current.  Jack and I spent the day with the 8 American lawyers. Lots of ascents and descents till the final 700m decent over 7km. Celebrated our trip in Deer Lake with the Americans over beer and dinner.

Watched Americans cross the river first and ascend the steep snow bank.  A good thing as we learned from their craziness and crossed then waded upriver for a snow free ascent.

One of many “pond” vistas.


American lawyers plus Jack.


Long and kind of monotonous 7km hike down to parking lot on well marked trails


Finally a bridge! Manicured trails for last 7km descent.

Done

Teamwork!
