  • In this video, we visit Gros Morne National Park (one of our favourite national parks) to hike Gros Morne Mountain, an incredible hike that takes you through different climate regions.
    If you've been watching us for a while, you know how much we love Newfoundland. We have a number of different videos about Newfoundland and more coming up, so make sure you check those out as well.

    We’re Matt & Karla, a Canadian couple with two totally different backgrounds.
    Matt is the “quintessentially Canadian”, born under the northern lights in Northern Alberta with family all over the country, whereas Karla is originally from Mexico City, bringing a totally fresh perspective to a country she has fallen in love with.
    Over the past 10 years, we have travelled to 42 countries spanning six continents, which has given us the expertise to plan amazing trips and find memorable experiences.
    In 2017, we decided to explore our own massive backyard with Road to 150, a 150-day #roadtrip across #Canada, witnessing the beauty and diversity of this country and sharing our experiences through video, pictures, social media, and articles. Since then, we’ve helped thousands of Canadians and travellers worldwide make the most of every Canadian experience.

    Brought back so many memories. I've done this hike twice nearly 30 years ago! First time the clouds rolled in and there was no view from the top! Second time was perfect. Would love to do it again. Your video reminded me of some of the views that I had forgotten. Green Gardens is excellent as well.

    The Geology or theory of tectonic plates was founded in Newfoundland - Dr. Harold Williams (RIP) - Memorial University. He Developed the first tectonic plate map of the Appalachian mountains. Although that map is over 40 years old, geologist still referred to as "the map" His work began in Gros More and he was an advocate for it becoming a world heritage site.

    I was 16 years old in 2013 climbing Gros Morne Mountain in Newfoundland with my dad , twin brother and are cousin and she is only 8 years old... She beat us to the top before us three guys by a long shot.... It was a great 9 hour hike but we didn't bring enough water and food for the 4 of us and we got chased by a mother 🫎 moose (cow) down the mountain for a moment since her calfs were near us too. We never felt so thirsty when we got back to are car. Drinking like two bottles of water each.,
